Could add a daily calorie enhanced drink to your meal plan. Ensure is higher calorie. Doesn’t require increase in portion for that at least.

I had a revision and the thing I find most interesting is the food I had probably 4 nights a week post sleeve, can’t tolerate it and don’t like it anymore—tilapia! I had a go to way of cooking and spicing it and looking at it now makes me want to be sick 🤢 I’m actually getting more Protein from vegan sources and I’ve never had the desire to be vegan…just what my body can tolerate now.

I noticed more pain post bypass. Probably part due to the opiate crisis and the docs not prescribing opiates for pain control where I live. Also part due to the hernia repair that was not anticipated by the surgeon or myself!

I might ask the person you consult with if damage to the esophagus is permanent or reversible. I’m praying my damage resolved itself now that acid isn’t flushing up there every time I eat.

I will say there’s a lot of comments about revisions losing slower and I’m happily surprised to be down 50lbs since 5/6/22 ✌️

I strongly considered the advice from the surgeon I consulted with. So if they say sleeve will get you the results you want, consider that. Same for bypass if they say that!

On days where I’m tired of the food my stomach can tolerate, I just bake some squash and okra with some spices and have 1/4 cup as a meal. I’ve tried a lot of Protein sources at 12 weeks out that aren’t working well so in order to not die of boredom, I’ve had squash for dinner probably 2 nights in the last month 🤷🏼‍♀️ dietician approved and all 🥳

Yes, sleeve to bypass here as well. I too developed severe GERD with no previous history of it and when in my surgery the doc said he found severe erosion and a hernia. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I wish I would have just went bypass too.

Sleeve recovery was easier for me. I was off 3 weeks only because I didn’t have confidence in my ability to meet my Fluid intake goals at a fast paced hospital job until week 4 started. For the bypass, I’m off 3 weeks because it’s needed. I’m still in pain. Bending hurts. Bowels aren’t regular yet. Fluid intake isn’t met yet. It definitely hurts worse and is taking way more of my energy.

Weight loss so far is faster with my bypass. But I am currently in the famous week 3 stall. -25 since 5/6 🤷🏼‍♀️ But I did lose -110lbs with my sleeve so it can be done before GERD and regain.

Keep up the research, I hope it helps you ❤️

Just curious, is there a reason you have landed on the sleeve vs bypass? Bypass does tend to lead to higher weight loss in more obese folks if folks follow their diet plans. I’ve had both now (sleeve to bypass) and wish I would have just done the bypass. But that’s just me! When I did the sleeve I was 225lbs so sleeve made sense, wish I would have given bypass another research though anyway. I ended up in the smaller percent of folks that get GERD and regain after sleeve. So bypass I went.

My support group said it was likely the sugar content. Because my derpy self didn’t think they made a sugar free and they do 🤦‍♀️

I am scarred for awhile though.

Was given the all clear to try regular coffee if desired. Yesterday was my birthday and I chickened out of getting a birthday skinny mocha. Today I did end up trying a small one and my god. This is probably hour 2 of dumping.

Anxiety? Check
Heart palpitations? Check
Nausea? Check
General uneasy feeling? Check
