Doctors advance you at their rate because it keeps the motility of your digestive system intact. Ask your surgeon if he wants you to stay on liquids longer than prescribed without good cause (complication) and the answer may surprise you...

At four weeks post op you should be fine BUT definitely call your team to confirm ❤

What phase of your cycle are you in? There are less effective periods to get pregnant during (rhythm method of birth control) coupled with IUD may provide all of the coverage you need.

Yay congrats in upcoming transformations. I'm currently learning too by reading the experiences of the true plastics VETS and newbies that came before me. Their stories have been invaluable and provided me with the courage to actually go through with it. So thanks EVERY ONE who shares to these forums... I appreciate it immensely (BTW I am no expert i just happen to have the most things come up... So weird 😳) P.S I didn't even consider that i would need new clothes until you mentioned it 😔 Oh Gosh...

I can eat around the same amount as VSG. You may or may not feel additional restriction because of the revision. (The pyloric valve will no longer be there so measuring and eating by recommended amounts may be needed. This is why some people, not everyone, feel like they can eat more after revision) The process is slow going trying new foods after conversion but my eating is now nearly the same as with VSG I dumped with VSG so I had to learn to be careful way back then I'm just even more careful now. If it even looks too sweet/rich i completely avoid it. Hope that helps 💚

Thanks ❤

I was super busy planning the details ❤

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Quick update : I am still doing well, very uneventful revision story now so not much to add. Weight fluctuates down then back up to baseline depending on my eating style. But no complaints at all Hope that helps ❤

So glad you are doing well ❤

Hi! Super glad I followed my surgeons advice and went through with it. It was also medically necessary and although I had mixed emotions about it, after completing 2 endoscopies and providing me with the photos of my internal issues, it pretty much sealed the deal for me. I didn't want to continue to ignore it and struggle along for no reason. Research and only do what is comfortable for you ❤

Cup sisters 4 ever ❤ Ive used a cup for the past 12 years

IMHO, neither start gym now of reduce calories. Focus on walking and physical therapy exercises while continuing to eat the proper macros (always ask your Nutritionist) for optimal weight loss : Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram. So to stay in your recommended caloric range you would want around 60/80/90 grams of protein (240-320 cals), around 50 grams or less of Carbs (200 cals or less) and 20 or less grams or less of fats e.g. : Eating 80 g of protein-320+200+180= 700 BUT please remember to check with your Team about their specific macro recommendations The gym can happen once you feel up to it just exercise/move around in daily life as often as possible Good Luck❤️

Thank You!!! I'm actually in Miami ❤

❤️Congratulations ❤️

Pain management is best discussed ahead of time with your Surgeon Find out the plan and if it can be adjusted as needed - very important A lot of providers are now weary to (over) prescribe narcotics due the opioid crisis Good Luck ❤️
