... I'm going to get my revision.

I scheduled everything today. Hiatoplastic, gastropexia and a change to RNY anastomosis.

Dammit... I don't really want to do it...

Meh, I hate measuring and tracking food. Triggers obsession and some weird kind of anxiety.

So far no cramping or pain today. The incisions still hurt a bit of course but my abdominal muscles don't hurt as much as they did after previous surgeries. The only thing that hurts less, lol.

I'M glad I'm on sick leave for some more days though.

Eating liquid doesn't really warrant the label of "eating". It already gets on my nerves big time. Maybe I should start a ticker until March 18th when I'll be allowed to have real food again, lol.

???

Today the staples were removed from the incisions. Wounds are looking fine. About 3 kg less now on the scales now than the day before surgery, btw.

Dammit, I want to eat roasted red beets now. Even these awful McD burgers looked fine today, lol.

How large/where is your incision?

Can you have soup yet?

After my revision I dropped more than 10lbs so quickly I looked terrible & I began to have loose skin in my face /neck ?

I have the usual 5 incisions across the upper abdomen. Nothing big and scary.

I eat soup and thin pudding and yoghurt and the like. Luckily only 3 weeks of liquids this time instead of 4 weeks.

Oh! When you mentioned staples I thought large incision.

Hoping it goes quickly ?

There was a little bit of pain when these little suckers were removed but nothing serious. Wounds looked good all the time.

On a side note, at least the weather is good for a nice protein hot cocoa. ☕

Meh, unfortunately inner upper thighs are stubborn as hell.

How long were you on liquids/soup after your revision? I find it way harder to recover this time. Ok ok, I'm almost 4 years older now but anyway. I also have to battle way more cravings.

No dumping? I hope I am one of those who don't dump !

No dumping.

However, one has to keep in mind that dumping usually doesn't occur once you eat a gram of sugar.

With the MGB, when I ate too much sugar at once I felt queasy. Late dumping only occurred when I also drank alcohol and ate too much sugar.
