Oh boy! That sounds scary! Glad you’re better!

Right! Insane how the first thing to change is our face! You look amazing as well

My doctor cleared me after two weeks and it was fine, no issues.

I never asked my doctor but I was fine after two weeks! Don’t tell your husband! Lol 😂

I am the worst person to take pictures ever lol...I forgot to take a before full body to compare but I was a size 20 and am now 16 🙌. I got “before” pics bow after losing 25 lbs but at least the face pic I have from right before surgery thanks to my 4-year-old girl that loves taking pics hahaha...1 month difference below.

I'll be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow and still have problems with potatoes. I have to eat very little like 1 tbs mixed in Beans or Soup to not feel anything...I tried mixing 2 tbs in 1/2 cup of beans a couple days ago and felt horrible, like I had this huge thing in my stomach all the way up my throat...I love potatoes but will stay clear from it a few more weeks.
BTW, what app do you use as a signature? Happy scale?

I truly believe that was what caused my issued at 11/12 days post op. The Soup I ate was thickened with potato. I'm 8 weeks post op now and have been able to eat 2-3 Tbsp of mashed potatoes a couple times without issue. meats are still very heavy for me.

I had very liquidy mashed potatoes with unflavored Protein in and after a few spoons, I felt that I had swallowed a brick! Started salivate like crazy, thought I was going to throw up. Very uncomfortable.
I think potatoes don’t sit well with most of WLS patients. My nutritionist said that potatoes are very harsh and starchy, that most of her patients have some kind of problem with it.

Awesome!

I am doing the same exact thing as you, and hitting between 600-700 calories. I go back to work next week...today is my first meal prepping session.

@Freiabr. You are my surgery twin. Sounds like we are pretty much at the same point. Have you started exercising?

My last weigh in I was right on the threshold, so I expect to cross it next week when I weigh in (I'm only weighing on Mondays) and am ridiculously excited.

I had reflux too and had the sleeve done. I had a fairly large hiatal hernia which they attribute the reflux too. That was fixed during the surgery!

I have reflux and my surgeon also recommended bypass, but after some tests said the sleeve would be OK, so that's what we did. I'm surprised your doc said to do a revision if you don't lose 50% - my doc said I'd only have to do revision if my reflux became intolerable. he said that only something like 10% of sleevers get worse reflux and 4-6% of sleeves need to be revised to bypass. Even if I "only" lose 50%, I'll be delighted. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd love to lose more, but I'd be fine if the ultimate loss is the average 60% EWL.

My surgeon recommended the sleeve plus it had less risk health wise. I need to increase my food and Water intake

My surgeon recommended the bypass because I have acid reflux but I picked the sleeve because it doesn't mess with our anatomy so much, but he said that if I don't loose 50% of my weight at the end of 12 months I should consider bypass because the surgery wasn't successful. I have lost 21% of my excess weight so far and doing the math, I think I'll surpass the 50% and hopefully reach my personal goal weight by 1 year...I think we are just a little anxious and wanting the weight to come off in no time but we will get there. This journey is all about, changing your mindset, habits and lifestyle, the surgery was just the push for us to get there...we can do this!
