    California Guy got a reaction from Bari_KS in Reached my goal weight today! Before and after photos.   
    Seven months after a Duodenal switch revision surgery I reached my goal weight of 190 lbs. That's 110 lbs. down from 300 at the beginning of 2020. I've adjusted well to my daily nutrition plan and am exercising every day.

    My wife takes some odd photos. These odd photos are great to show the difference before and after. I've had three waves of cleaning out my entire closet. Started with a 48" pant waist at the beginning of the year and am down to 35" now. Shirt size is down from roomy XXXL to XL.

    California Guy got a reaction from GradyCat in Revision from VSG to BP   
    I had a revision VSG to SADI-S Modified DS (Loop DS) 7 months ago. I read this surgery produces 85% excess weight loss on average. Sure enough, I lost 85% of my excess weight this year. We got to the point of needing surgeries due to poor nutrition. If you make a permanent change to your daily nutrition plan, you will get similar results.
    With the VSG 7 years ago, I lost 77% of my excess body weight then regained most of it back. I failed to establish and follow a good nutrition plan. The revision was a second chance and mal absorption helped me get where I am.

    A hernia or acid reflux could be qualifying conditions.

    I like Premier Protein the best. Yes, they are for PRE and POST surgery. Before the surgery, they support a calorie restrictive diet. If you are told to consume liquids only. After surgery, while your stomach and intestines heal, you'll need to only have liquids at first. Protein punch like Isopure, Protein Shakes, or Protein Powder added to liquids will fulfil your protein requirements.

    Welcome. I had a sleeve in 2013 and a revision to Modified DS in 2020. I hope your recover is smooth.

    I weigh myself daily. It helps me identify trends and ensure I'm doing everything right. Just don't focus on daily data, try to compare by the week or by the month.

    I agree walking is good for your health for many reasons. You can lose most of your excess body weight by following a good nutrition plan with no exercise. Exercise will improve other aspects of your health. There are healthy overweight people and unhealthy people of average weight.
