    I just love the fact that I can wear a matching set of something again!Haven’t had the bottoms and tops as the same size in ages.

    Hoping this journey continues smoothly. Doing it all over post revision but having fun with it!

    I'm 6 months out and have been stuck in a stall a little over 3 weeks now. I'm not even halfway to my goal yet.

    After your revision, how long did it take for you to hit your goal weight?im a little over halfway to goal at the 5.5 month mark so I feel like I am on track. Just curious what everyone else is experiencing.

    Just watch out for the dreaded “change in taste” a lot of people experience. I learned the hard way and had to give so much away because I no longer liked or could tolerate the taste. It was an unfortunate waste of $$$ but I guess you don’t know until you have surgery and find out if your tastes change.

    I’ve been 119lbs and 300lbs. Now I’m doing a second weight loss journey with 75lbs left to lose. Online dating is for sure different even already—no one wants to date the 300lb me. But the 215 me gets more attention. I can’t imagine what it will be like at my 140 goal. It’s sad, but I truly think a lot of folks aren’t attracted to larger bodies.

    Weight loss is slower than sleeve but I’m still ahead of the curve according to my surgeon’s office. -80 in 5.5 months with 75 to lose still.

    I’m in Saint Louis but both of my surgeries were in Kansas City where I lived when I started the sleeve journey. I was so comfortable with that office I went back for the revision instead of seeking a STL provider. I do follow with the Mercy system support group though! I know they have a Springfield location of that group too. 🥳

    I was officially 4 years post op last week, and i was gonna go do a 4-yr anniversary post with pics, but alas i got lazy. So for now here is my OOTD at 4 years, 6 days post op, wearing my laze-about-at-home clothes (when its too hot to wear a shirt, lol).
    Surgery Oct 2018 - 235 lbs
    Goal May 2019 - 127 lbs
    Today Oct 2022 - 119.2 lbs

  11. Thanks

    Have you tried the vitamin patches? I did those for a month, PatchAid brand. I personally found a chewable I like off this website but the patch was super easy until I found what I wanted.

    redhead_che got a reaction from GreenTealael in Revision from sleeve to bypass- questions.   
    I had my revision done with the same person so the diet was exactly the same post op. Bonus was I only had a 1 week liquid diet instead of 2.

    I don’t feel restricted or get full cues so I have to weigh every single thing so I don’t over eat. Because I definitely have got sick/dry heaves when I was lazy and didn’t weigh.

    My plan states under or at 30 carbs a day. It’s difficult but I usually meet that goal or go just a little above. My favorite mini tortillas have 8 carbs and always push me over on days I have 1-2

    I too had a lot of UTIs post sleeve! Isn’t that weird? And with the antibiotic restrictions post weight loss surgery they were hard to treat! Post revision I haven’t had one yet so yay! I’m glad I’m not the only one who experienced that with the sleeve…I thought I was just gross 😬
