AV,

My condolences on the loss of you MIL. Your MIL looked like a very sweet woman and has quite the extended family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I feel very blessed that my mother, who is 88, is still with us and in decent health for her age. She has more of a social life than I do, lol! I call and talk with her at least once a week.

We also just found out over the weekend that our brother-in-law's ( my husband's sister' husband) father took his own life Friday night. I guess there is just going to be a small private family service and was cremated. My heart just breaks for my brother-in-law.

B: Pork patty

L: chicken

D: possibly crab

Hello all,

One week out and I am starting to get into a groove.

This is a revision from a sleeve to an rny - so I am trying to make this work. I know one of the most important thing to do is keep track of what I am eating, so I have it in fitness pal and here!

I took all my vitamins, did 8,200 steps, but didn't drink nearly enough water.

2 crushed vitamins and a probiotic in a cup - kinda tastes and looks like a fun dip

grande tea at Starbucks

1/2 protein shake

a few tablespoons of refried beans, avocado and salsa

Protein coffee (not real coffee it is a chicory blend - I almost had a decaf as the day was getting to me, but I stayed strong)

My daughter and I had freezies - they were fruit based but after her melt down, she is getting her 2 year molars, we both needed one!

strawberry muscle milk while my daughter ate chicken nuggets and fries. I was too lazy to make dinner so we went out for a walk and stopped at the McDonald's that is attached to a convenience store. I was happy to see the muscle milk. I would have just skipped dinner without it.

Happy Monday all

jaime

Can I ask why you revised? I'm set for revision from sleeve to bypass on 7/1. I'll definitely be following how you're progressing so I hope you continue to post!

Hi,

I got the revision due to weight gain. I had my vsg in 2010. I was about 280. I only made it down to 180. I didn't stay there long. Blink of an eye!

I made it back up to about 238 around Christmas this year. I was having gallbladder problems so the Doctor suggested we do a two for one - gallbladder removal and rny at the same time. I happily agreed.

I feel really good so far.

What about you?

Thanks for your response! I developed severe reflux after my sleeve. It's been a problem for about a year and is only getting worse. My surgeon said the only real treatment for me at this point is conversion to bypass so that's what i'm going to do.
