💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

Nope! Maybe because i got myself up to walk very quickly

I was prepared to see the scale move up so i was at peace with it and don't mind but the bloating is just so uncomfortable !

Ok just nurse called me and confirmed i could start protein shakes today also whew!

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Ok here's the details on why I needed a revision: 1. Stricture at Incisera/spiraled sleeve- confirmed through testing and in surgery (no way to fix both issues without revision surgery) 2. GERD- I NEVER had it prior to surgery. It was a side effect. It was caused (surgeon believes) by the stricture I had at the incisera. This was confirmed through endo and surgery. 3. Hiatal Hernia- no explanation needed. 4. Gastritis- had this prior to first surgery and never resolved itself but hopefully now it will 5. Adhesions- plenty and plenty and plenty that NEEDED to be removed. Here's why youve never heard about any of these things until now: I still lost weight with the issues i had... They did not stop me from making better choices and working hard with the hand i was given. Plus complaining here would just scare people out of something that could benedit them immensely. I did all of my wailing to my surgeons and they took my concerns seriously. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Hope this helps someone. These complications especially clustered like this are rare. Surgery was still completely worthwhile. This may never ever happen to you. You do not have to fail at WL because of complications. You do not have to regain because of complications. You DO have to check in with your team and make them aware so they can help you.

There in lies the puffiness lol and I'm swollen throughout my abdomen too plus my bra is slightly padded, Oh and i started out quite large in the rack 😁

10 days on clearer liquids not even full liquids I find out late next week if they will advance me quicker but I'm in no rush honestly, no appetite.

Ok my first post after conversion Before is the last meal I had (bday) After is all I'm allowed for about 2 weeks

Joining because I need a boost 🚀😁 Im swollen and puffy but still wearing skin tiight jersey dresses. Accessory of the day... Electrolyte water 😂

You can totally call and inquire about the status of your approval Good Luck 💜

I decided to weight myself at home because I felt bloated and sure enough surgery has made me gain. 10lbs to be exact. But 3lbs of it already disappeared overnight. It was really the IV fluid (Lactated Ringers) and inflammation from the work done. But it is visible and felt. But atleast I know exactly what is going on and will return to normal im a few weeks 😁

My original surgeon did not require one but I did it for 5 days prior to surgery because I was nervous/anxious. The new surgeon required a 2 week pre op diet of 2 shakes 1 protein\vegetable meal. I mostly followed it because their reasoning was compelling enough but I was already at goal weight and believed my liver didn't need to shrink more. So I was not perfect. I do not recommend this for anyone with any amount of regain. Had I followed it perfectly I would have lost more weight, which was not my goal. Plus my Birthday fell exactly 3 days before surgery so I basically did what I wanted within reason that day (light and real ice cream, pie, salad, fish and chips) 2 days prior to surgery I went full liquids only (my rules), 1 day before clear liquids only (my rules also) , the night before surgery fasting (their rules) Hope that helps. But as always follow your surgeons plans because they could always get in there and decide to either postpone or covert from lapro to open if your liver isnt mobile enough (the reason for the pre op diet)

What brand? I like these types but I'm not brand specific

B -Side Question: My boyfriend said that one time I looked like Janet Jackson to him when I was all dressed up for a wedding we attended. I guess l know who he was crushing on...

IMHO Waste an appointment with your Doctor, better safe than sorry. Get Well Soon 💜

Day 1 at home: Working on fluids all day long. Gotta practice what I preach. But also I notice these photos were exactly one year apart both post op and maybe 10 lbs apart... I'm wearing the same shirt!

I really like the 1/2 portion idea ! But I'm curious, did the Nutritionist never mention that drinking your calories (orange juices,etc) may slow down weightloss? Good luck 💜

😁 thank you 😁

Goodness i should not have posted while impaired lol spellcheck betrayed me...

Guess who is going home!

IDK... I didn't have an appetite after my first surgery either so...

Oooo La La...
