  2. Anyone have a revision from sleeve to bypass? If so how much more weight did you lose? I have lost another 30 pounds to date and my surgeon told me I should only lose about 10.... Worried I might keep losing and get myself in trouble.
  3. I met my husband on yahoo personals 12 years ago. We met and married the same year. We emailed for a whiled then talked on the phone several times a day then he drove up and met me. We have been inseparable since. It does happen. You just have to be patient. Good luck!

  6. I was a sleeve to bypass conversion in August. I do stick to my meal plan and the pizza I should have mentioned was a home made cauliflower crust pizza the size of my palm. Not a traditional pizza. I stick to my meal plan and my volume is non existent most days due to the amount of liquid I have to consume. In my post it was literally 2 cubes of grilled chicken and 4-5 forks of lettuce that was cut at each meal and the pizza was the size of my palm and I only got in a few bites. I am happy I was able to keep that down. Most days I can't keep anything solid down. There is nothing wrong with my pouch, had testing.
  7. I just don't get it. I can't figure out my new stomach at all. Most days I throw up what very little I eat.. It doesn't matter what it is. We haven't been able to figure out the triggers.. But today.. It's like I couldn't get enough food.. I ate the most food I have eaten since my conversion surgery today. 1 entire protein bar.. Salad with chicken.. Another antipasto salad.. 3 bites of pizza... And a ton of water! Granted I didn't eat an entire salad but I didn't puke either... Anyone else have these days????

  13. Have you had your blood pressure checked. That happens to me when my Bp is low. Now that I lost the weight my Bp runs 90/60 as opposed to the 140/80 I was running and I get dizzy when it falls below that but keeping my water up and making sure I am not skipping meals helps.

  15. I will also mention that at 3 weeks out I was completely on my stomach. It was sore but I had too! Revision was 8/31/15
  16. I slept semi stomach at a week. Propped up pillows around me and took pain meds before bed. I wasn't completely on my tummy but it felt great to be in my bed and not a recliner lol

  22. I never had reflux until I had the sleeve. I had such severe reflux after that and was on 5 medications several times a day that this year I couldn't take it and revised on 8/31/15 to gastric bypass. Honestly if you already have reflux I would opt for the bypass. I have no reflux and my surgeon said its near impossible for me to ever have it again. I am off all medication and love it!
  23. I don't know what kind of exercise your doing but when I felt like I stopped losing I started crossfit workouts. They seriously change your body! Try that and going back to basics. Protein protein protein. Get your water in! Hope it helps. Don't give up!

  26. Oh and did you buy that dress recently at Cato? They just opened one by me... Hehe.
  27. You should definitely add dresses to your wardrobe. I love wearing dresses now! I can't wait to rock a sweater dress and tall boots this season!!!!
