As for any negativity towards any form of WLS, you can safely ignore 100% of people who have never gone through it because they have no idea what they're talking about.
Regarding revision, I had the sleeve done in Dec 2016 and did very very well at first. I lost about 120 lbs. in about 6 months of so, reaching my goal. Then after some personal and professional setbacks, I stopped paying attention to what I was eating, stopped tracking, stopped weighing and measuring, started eating junk again, and over the next few years regaining almost everything.
In Nov 2021 I had the revision to sleeve. My doctor did an endoscopy and said my sleeve was dilatated and therefore I could either resleeve to tighten it up, or revise to bypass. He recommended bypass because I also had GERD, and I took his advice.
I'm down nearly a hundred pounds now since November and very happy. Still doing what I'm supposed to do, and I know the pitfalls to watch out for from last time. The GERD is gone too which is very nice.

It's taken me a little longer than the first time to lose the weight post-revision, but I'm a few years older and also I started out a little lower. It's been about 8 months after my surgery and I'm at about the weight I was about 7 months after the sleeve. I'm approaching the lowest I ever was post-sleeve and hoping to break through and go lower now.

At your stage post-op I really enjoyed turkey salad. I got the seasoned turkey breast from Aldi's and just chopped it up in a food processor, added some mayo and it was soooo delicious.
Also I was able to handle Breakfast every day by making two scrambled eggs with shredded cheddar cheese on top.

It's not the end of the world but take it seriously - if you couldn't follow the rules by day 5, what's going to happen by day 50? Or 500?
After I was sleeved in 2016 I did extremely well at first, I followed the plan to a T, I never cheated, and I dropped 120 lbs in about 6 months or so.
Then I figured I could splurge a little here and there, have a few bites of a snack, because what's the big deal, right?
It ended up turning into a vicious cycle where I ate more and more crap and eventually I regained almost all of the weight I had lost and was absolutely miserable and depressed and feeling like a complete and utter failure.
I got the revision to bypass in Nov 2021 and am down nearly 100 pounds, following the rules and doing everything I'm supposed to, and always keeping in mind what happened last time.
Don't beat yourself up too bad but if you feel guilty - GOOD! Use that and remember it when you have cravings in the future. Remember this isn't a magic bullet, it's a tool, and it's up to you how you use it.
You haven't failed because of one mistake, but you might fail if you let it become two mistakes, then three, and so on.

The two week pre-op diet SUCKS but once you make it through that you're golden. Also it's much easier to follow the plan once you've gone two weeks eating nothing, just having half a scrambled egg feels like you're indulging yourself.
I also use Myfitnesspal, just make sure to keep up with it every day post-op.

No pun intended

I was sleeved in Dec. 2016 and did very very well at first - dropped about 120 lbs total in about 6 months or so. Then had some personal and professional problems and stopped taking care of myself, and slowly started gaining weight. I ended up gaining almost all of it back and I had the revision to bypass in Nov. 2021. Doctor told me I could be re-sleeved if I wanted, but I had GERD both before and after sleeve so he strongly recommended bypass which I agreed with. It's going very well again, albeit a little slower than with the sleeve. I'm down nearly 100 lbs and very pleased with the results.

I was pretty miserable during my pre-op diet, I remember sitting on my couch holding my head because it felt like I had a Migraine from the hunger and weakness, but it was all worth it in the end. Just think forward a few days to the surgery and beyond, and even though there will be restrictions at first you'll be able to eat real food again (even though you really won't be hungry), and all of the good things and health benefits that will be coming your way very soon.

If the employee doesn't recognize that term, just ask to have it scooped out, that's how I've always said it.

You might have a stricture, even if it's something else it's not good that you can't keep anything down, and if you've reached the point of passing out you need immediate medical attention. Does your doctor's office have an emergency answering service? If not, as someone else recommended you should reach out to your primary care physician or even the local ER.

It's been a little over 7 months from my surgery (revision from sleeve to bypass) and this morning I stepped on the scale and saw I made it down to 1derland! This comes after a bit of a stall for a week or so, so I just wanted to share and encourage those who are either considering the surgery or are struggling to get through a stall that this does work and if you keep up with your tracking and weighing food and watching what you're putting in your body, it will work for you too!

Looking for some advice/suggestions, I'm getting a little bored with the same old stuff I've been eating and want to change it up a bit.
I see people talking all the time about meal prepping so they only have to prepare one big meal on Sunday and then they are able to save the rest to eat throughout the week. I'd love to do that so I'm not tempted to eat out or do something unhealthy when I don't have time or energy to make a meal.
But I've never done anything like that before ever, I always prepare the meal right before I eat it. Sometimes I'll have leftovers that I'll heat up the next day, but I really would like to be able to prep for the week in advance.
I have a slow cooker and an electric pressure cooker so I could use either of those to prepare.
Does anyone have any recipes for your meal prep for the week? And please let me know what you do with your portions, ie: freeze/refrigerate, I'm starting from scratch here.
Thanks!

Welcome to the club and good luck! First few days/week can be a bit of an adjustment but you'll make it.

I eat these every single day, they're great, I don't feel like I'm depriving myself but they aren't really that terrible for you.
