I am finally feeling like myself again. I was expecting to recover much quicker than I did. My revision surgery was done 9.17.20 and I was so uncomfortable and in pain. Now I can sleep on my side (with pillows, I'm a belly sleeper and this is a struggle lol), the Omerparzole has helped so far with GERD, and I can stand and walk for longer periods. I have been doing good on staying hydrated and continue to work on my eating habits and meeting my protein goal (120g). The Premier Protein water taste like chalky cough syrup, as I thought this would be a hack to meet my goal and the unflavored powders do have flavor if that makes sense lol. I can finally bend down and tie my shoes (but it has to be quick lol). The weight loss is slower this time around as we all know with revision but my main focus is my eating habits, exercise, and mental health. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

So let's change that. How can we support you? I feel the same often and it definitely adds even more stress to weight loss. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I went to the drug store and got some omeprazole and that has been helping tremendously. I've also propped myself up a little more higher as well when I sleep and increased fluids. Still waiting to hear back from my doctors office too! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Prime Day deal on Premier Protein, Atkins, Kind Bars, etc. on Amazon! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

No food 2-3 hours before, sleeping on an incline, sent a message to my doctor to follow up in this. Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Last night I woke up choking from acid back up and even threw up a little. Throat on fire and still have nasty taste in my mouth no matter how many times I brush and swish around listerine. I also am wheezing and go no sleep after fear of it happening again. I had revision from vsg to DS (9.17.20)and never suffered from this before but since the revision, this has been an issue(not as scary as last night).I have chewable antacids that helped little but boy was this scary.

Omg the healing process is so much different and painful. I had my revision on 9.17.2020 and the pain has me so uncomfortable to move, talk, cough,anything. I cant even lay down. I literally have a cloud of covers and pillows on the couch to keep me propped for comfort. I am really hoping for weight loss as I am working on my discipline this time around cause I failed my sleeve unfortunately and I am not in denial about it.

Looking for some tips on beating head hunger and cravings. My cravings are winning and its showing on the scale. Sadly enough it has only been a year since I was sleeved and I've been struggling something serious. I dont want to mess this weight loss tool up. I have an appointment with my nutritionist this month (April) at my request because of my concern. I definitely need to crank up the volume on exercising and drink more water, so that is what I am building on this week. Ughhhhh.....

Focus on your protein and water intake is what i was advised.

long as you are getting in your water and protein for the most part, you will break that stall. Hang in there girl. Stick to what your dr told you to do.

3 mo. post op. Still doing good. I am down about 45lbs since surgery on 2/12/18. Still working on protein and getting enough water in and taking my vitamins on time. I set an alarm for it and it worked at first but I sometimes ignore it. No complications (knock on wood) and I feel fine. Cravings are still close to gone. Every now and then I will get a craving but it usually passes after drinking water or a liquid. I don't really care for sweets, including pop. I cannot believe i am saying that because I was a heavy snack food junkie. I am getting out and enjoying the weather as much as i can. Every step counts. I can tolerate pretty much any food that i have tried. I constantly looking for healthy recipes, as I am trying to stay away from fried and frozen foods. Drop some recipes if you know of any (that are good). I still get kinda frustrated after being full after 3 bites, i sit there and stare at the food like really? lol I plan on buying a bike and hitting the trail that i walk on in the morning. We shall see.

@mitchjoann132010 here is my update. 😁

Hello everyone, just checking in. So, tomorrow I will be 1 month post op and down about 30lbs from my surgery weight. Here is what I have noticed: 1. Its hard to not eat and drink when you have had tha t habit for all of your life. 2.Its bittersweet when you realize you can no longer can down the foods that you used to eat into your bottomless pit. Literally after 2-3 bites you are full. 3. I am not motivated to exercise and am in search of some fun ways to get real exercise in. When I don't get on my treadmill I powerwalk through whatever store I want to visit that day with my son in his stroller or cart. Takes 45-1hr. Stopping and going. It is better than nothing. 4. I crave coffee and spicy foods, don' care for sweets too much now....and I used to have a horrible sweet tooth. Feels weird and I don't really care for coffee either. But I put salsa on almost everything. 5. Sleeping on my stomach is not an issue,it was uncomforable at first but pillows helped and then I got comfy on my own. 6. I do have some pains sometimes that feels like something is pulling so,I am going to tell my Dr at my appt on Thursday. 7. Every time a commercial comes on or that I am interrupted I take a sip of water and that is my secret to getting my fluids. 8. Pintreset is a great tool for healthy recipes and meal hacks That is all for now! It' been an interesting journey so far and I keep telling my that "if nothing changes, then nothing changes" meaning if you do nothing you get nothing in return. I got this surgery to save my life and I want to take full advantage of it. 😉
