Just guessing but I always assumed its the different modalities of caloric restrictions that keep the numbers nearly the same but I think no one really knows because some people's BMRs seem reset to a higher threshold while others have it lowered. I honestly feel sometimes that these revisions are like a third category of WLS with totally different expectations, outcomes, complications etc. than a virgin surgery. But I also think it's not across the board as a rule that it will be different. But I have encountered a few people that have noticed it feels/works different than what they are used to from their initial surgery. Also unless someone had a VSG first they likely do not know how that type of restriction feels compared to an initial RNY restriction. I don't have a clue what a virgin RNY is like but I know what a virgin VSG converted to RNY is like (to me) and that SUPER strong restriction disappeared (but its not an issue for me because I didn't need to lose more weight or count on it for controlling meal size) so I can see how it would be worrisome if someone was counting on it.

Most likely because i didn't make him my main care giver and i recovered VERY quickly so it was low pressure. We are both enjoying my new body now but for the first 6 weeks post op i wasn't allow to do anything strenuous and we honored that rule completely. I now suddenly understand how easy it can be to forget certain parts of a relationship when you are busy, stressed or unwell. NEVER letting that happen EVER again. Fast forward to March... SARS-COV 2. The world was basically put in house arrest and with just cause. I don't know how everyone else is managing with their partners but quarantine life has been challenging. You don't realize how social you are until you can't be anymore. All the fear and uncertainty swarming can be just as contagious as this nightmare virus. After a super serious discussion about the mental toll all of this is taking on us individually, we agreed to step back from the bombardment of the news and focus inward again. I think we are going to enjoy this solitude after all.❤ I hope everyone else is staying safe and healthy

Any luck?

I have seen multiple people lose large regains years after surgery. The only thing I noticed that made any real difference was that they said really ready to make lasting changes this time. You can totally do it! Good Luck

Give it your best efforts because now that the complications have been resolved its mostly up to you whether you succeed or not

Yes much less restriction than my VSG

I believe it is a (flowering) Dogwood tree

VSG to RNY facts some may not know about prior conversion: + PPI may still be necessary for quite awhile for some + Weight loss may be SLOW, weight may remain the same (maintenance) and some people can even gain + Pyloric valve is not preserved/used as with VSG so full feeling may not be the same as previously + You can still succeed by sticking to the plan you and your team come up with Good Luck ❤

Ooooooooooooos & Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhs

I adored Penny Dreadful ❤

I would suggest clean salads with a protein source for hunger control (you can eat a lot of salad for very little cals) & B vitamins (especially B12) for energy Good Luck ❤

I tried the night manager and didn't like Hiddleston 😥. Also being a long time Laurie fan, I thought I could stick out but I folded. Coleman is great in everything ❤

My previous bingeworthy list: Stranger Things, The OA, Altered Carbon, Travellers

The first episode is S L O W. I almost gave up 3 different times. But it does get a lot better

Never watched Greenleaf, is it similar to Outlander? (one of my fav period works from forever ago was The Forsyte Saga) I have watched episodes 1-3 of Tiger King. I am not ashamed to admit it & I'll go back and finish it one day 😂

You have quite the growing bingewatch list 😂

I never watched The Sopranos either. I just started Outlander.

IMHO Its the beauty during the change of seasons that makes the northeast semi livable 😂
