Around the time of my 6 month surgery anniversary, I was getting sloppy with weighing what I ate. I was down to 316 pounds ( pre surgery weight was 470 in Nov 2016) but I stayed 316 for a few weeks. I had stopped weighing all my food on my digital kitchen scale. I would "eye" all my portions. Finally, I decided to get back to weighing and measuring everything. That did the trick. As soon as I started weighing everything, I noticed that the portions I had been giving myself were a little too big. The number on the scale soon began to go down again and as of today I'm 310 (that's 160 pounds lost in 7 months). So, it looks like I'm going to keep weighing and measuring all my food because I need to. I still have BIG EYES and cannot trust my brain to know what the right portion size is.

Been on a break from the site for a while... had my surgery back on 11-12-13. Sw 257lbs, Reached goal of 150 at 14 months out (January 2015)....got pregnant literally less than a week later. Baby girl is almost 2 now. Since my surgery I have suffered from reflux and its gotten continually worse to the point I feel like my inside are literally on fire. I also have no restriction whatsoever since my pregnancy and have managed to get back up to 185. I had an esophagram done may 5th and my surgeon wants to revise me to RNY sometime this month. They have already submitted to my insurance and I am just waiting for my approval. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. so happy to get relief from the reflux and get back on track

YES IVE TRIED GETTING MORE IN IT JUST HURTS MY DOCTORS TELLS ME I HAVE TO TRY AND EAT THREW THE PAIN AND IM WORKING OUT TOO MUCH WITH NOTHING TO BURN OFF SO IM GOING TO FOCUS ON THE EATING AND WATER PART AND LESS ON THE EXERCISE PROBABLY JUST DO SOME WALKING INSTEAD OF HITTING THE GYM HOPEFULLY THAT WORKS

@browngirl89 Did you take any of the suggestions from the last thread you made? Have you changed anything in the past week?

In less than 10 percent of cases the sleeve fails due to anatomical issues, poor surgical technique, or other issues that are no fault of the patient. Also, a tiny percentage of unfortunate souls have no favorable markers of chromosome 15, rendering them nonresponders to bariatric surgery. Nonetheless, 90 percent of sleeve failures are due to the person failing the sleeve (e.g. behavioral issues). http://thebodyimagecenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/why-we-hear-so-many-stories-of-failure-after-bariatric-surgery.pdf

I had a dream about a big juicy hamburger 3 days after post op and i dang near knocked a old lady over trying to get my burger then i woke up embarrassed and mad cuz i didnt get a bite Sent from my LGMS210 using BariatricPal mobile app

I would be lost without my food scale. I have one at home and one that I take with me when I have to travel for work.

You're getting a revision?

Sleeved 5/24. I'm just sticking to the plan they gave me sugar free jello, chicken broth mixed with 98% fat free cream of chicken soup, sugar free Popsicles,liquid protein isolate. I haven't felt hungry or full yet. On wed I move on to the next phase.

Stop. Only a complete psychopath would judge you negatively for making a positive life change. Do you really care what psychos think? Different insurances take different times. Mine took under 2 weeks.
