Hiii everyone I’m Sasha. I had vsg surgery in 2018 and I will be having it revised to bypass 12/22. Looking for any surgery buddies around that time. I’m also excited to read everyone’s journeys on the subject so that I may prepare and not seem so alone. I hope everyone is well on this Saturday❤️

That’s awesome to hear..how was it getting your fluids in after surgery? How is healing so far compared to the sleeve?

I haven't had any trouble getting my fluids in. As a matter of fact I wonder if i'm not getting too much. I am not hungry or having cravings. I am tired of liquids. There is just so many ways to change up Jello. Healing is going well. No incision problems that I can tell. I guess I'm lucky. I will take it as a win.

Bypass Revision due to GERD

(Horrible Reflux)

Good morning,

Congratulations to everyone on here who made the decision to become a better version of themselves!!!❤️ Is there anyone in the Atlanta, Georgia area??? My surgery date was 12/22/22… looking for my buddy or twin?
I am 5 days post op and the first three days were challenging, but I believe it was to be expected. Just a lot of discomfort.

Sooooooo, Vitamins always First

and about that drinking Water and getting the fluids needed. I drink all of my water with

liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier - Lemon Lime - Hydration powder Packets | Electrolyte Drink Mix | Easy Open Single-Serving Stick | Non-GMO | 16 Stick https://a.co/d/g0ZjYd9 it’s so much easier cold and I sip on it all day long. 24oz and I keep it in a Manna or Yeti cup to stay cold.

I get my Protein in with Evolve Protein Drinks and no sugar yogurts and cottage cheese throughout the day. I don’t have a hunger feeling so I have to try and time it.

(All very high in protein)

Evolve Plant Based Protein Shake, Double chocolate, 20g Vegan Protein, Dairy Free, No Artificial Sweeteners, Non-GMO, 10g Fiber, 11 Fl Oz (Pack of 12) - (Formula May Vary) https://a.co/d/emMQGGo

Ratio Keto Friendly Coconut Yogurt Cultured Dairy snack Cup, Keto Yogurt Alternative, 5.3 oz https://a.co/d/6msj2k9

Good Culture Cottage Cheese Organic 4% Whole Milk Classic, 16 oz https://a.co/d/06oD97i

For my Calcium I take 3 chewable supplements of

Caltrate chewables 600 Plus D3 Plus Minerals Calcium Vitamin D Supplement, Cherry, Orange And fruit Punch - 155 Count https://a.co/d/3a9w3Fn

I hope this helps a little.

Hi, I'm getting a conversion too, at the end of January! I'm trying to give support groups a chance, though admittedly I'm not the greatest at this kind of thing. Thanks for writing. What led you to the conversion?

@lunaticfish the severe GERD/Acid Reflux. My doctor said this would be the best course of action. It has been a challenge❤️but, I know it had to be done. I have finally been able to get a good nights sleep without worrying about my reflux trying to take me out!

Yikes. Seems like a ton of people have GERD; I've been super lucky not to have gotten it myself. I'm glad you're doing better already!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
