I wish I had bypass first time when my doc recommended it. I did Sleeve and now going back for bypass.

Pouch reset is a myth unfortunately .

Bypass. My doc didn’t even give me the re-sleeve option. My situation was because my sleeve had stretched.

I’m staring a closed FB group for those specifically who are looking into or have had Sleeve to Bypass revision surgery. It’s called “Revision Journey.” Feel Free to join!

Yes I have had therapy weekly for years now.. but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I am more on the side of belief that I’m a good addict, so don’t know that Brain over Binge would work for me... I’ll keep exploring!

I completely stretched my sleeve due to binging.

I’m 11 days post op and today I ate 1280 calories in soup and yogurt. I don’t get it. I don’t have problems eating too much or getting sick. I feel overly full sometimes like today but never enough to vomit or dump. I can drink water normally and never have had a problem with that... other people I know can only eat 2-4 ounces at a time... I hope this changes when I go to puréed and soft foods... otherwise idk why I did this surgery!!! I thought I’d be much more restricted than I am.

Yay! Today I ate soft foods. I ate a half cup of corned beef hash and was sure I was still hungry. So I ate a half cup of tomato soup and boy! I now know what that overfill uncomfortable feeling feels like. I almost had to push it today to know what I was capable of, but I know not to make a habit of it.

About a week

I literally thought I was the only one with a “second belly button” and so much pain there.

I hope you are right! I just got alarmed when so many people could barely finish their water or protein intake and I was totally fine with it! I graduate to puréed on Monday so hopefully a half a cup of egg salad does the job!

11 days post op and I’m worried this tool isn’t going to work for me. I can literally eat as much as I want of full liquids and some puréed and soups. Today after two bowls and a cup of soup and two yogurts I finally started to feel over stuffed. I don’t understand why this is happening other people I know can only eat a couple ounces at a time! I can drink a ton of liquid too. I’m so worried that this isn’t going to help me enough. I was banking on not being able to eat.

I know I'm going to miss it too sooooooo much! My doc said never have carbonation again!

I'm Sept 25th. Last real week of food! Lol. I'm getting pretty nervous.... but I know it's the right thing to do.

Just wondering if anyone who has lost weight post op has found good compression options? I thought I'd start looking into it now ...

What do you think is best unflavored protein powder? I heard unjury is not bad? I want to mix it with like people water, etc.

For those that didn't tell people. What did you say when the weight started dropping?

My fiancé is encouraging too but I have a hard time believing he will still be attracted to me... even worse, because I'm losing weight and he isn't...maybe I'll be upset he isn't changing his ways or I won't be attracted to him!

OMG I'm already feeling this dread and I'm pre op. Surgery sept 25th. My fiancé has terrible eating habits and we made a lot of our activities centered around food. I think it's just a learning process right? Like we will find new ways to connect and maybe even deeper ways? Have hope. We will get through this together!

I need new work clothes but I'm making ends meet because of surgery next month... how did y'all deal with surgery so fast and your wardrobe? I have to wear professional attire and I'm worried about the constant drop!

Did anyone invest in a brace or talk to doc about one? Likes? Dislikes?

So happy about this plate find! Perfect I think for post op!

Is gene pro better than unjury?

Sleeve surgery in 40 days. DR originally recommended RNY because of all of my health problems, esp diabetes, but told me it was my choice if I wanted to do sleeve. I just was too scared to do RNY! Plus I'm most likely moving to an area in Georgia with less doctors familiar with that surgery since it's so new. I can't help but think that I'm going to relapse like SO many other people. I'm terrified of relapsing. Food is my drug of choice so I think that's why I'm afraid I'll fall into bad habits after awhile. Ugh! Why was I so scared! It has great results! He told me I could always do the RNY part later but... I see what kind of an emotional impact rebounding has on people on this group.

Thanks for the support! Yeah, I do therapy quite a bit, but you are right. Maybe I'm just finally realizing that I can't keep going like this. Reading your post made my realize that maybe I was subconsciously regretting not doing RNY because I felt like I could cheat more. I have a friend who got it and she seems to be able to eat whatever she wants.... but it's only been a year out. I didn't realize people could also regain from that surgery too. And actually if you're a good addict I suppose it could actually make things worse if you think you can cheat your body and eat whatever. I feel better today. So Glad I found this site. Off to the therapist!
