I’m doing better! After I finally had my stent removed and picc line removed I’ve lost about 15lbs. I‘m no longer losing weight . I’m very tired all the time but I’m alive! They keep telling me it’ll be about a year for full recovery. We shall see.

So 12 days post op of my revision from band to sleeve I woke up to a 102.9 fever. Went to ER after talking with my Dr. once I got to ER after blood work I was Being admitted and treated for Sepsis. After more testing I had a leak. I spent 6 days in the hospital had a Stent place in my stomach and the abscess removed. I’m certainly at home on day 3 with a TPN bag. Absolutely nothing by mouth and IV to keep me alive pretty much. I have a very long road to recovery.

Today has been the first day of more energy go us!!

It’s been hard. I ended up with a UTI and never in my life felt pain like that. It kept me in bed for two days for meds to get things back to the beginning again. I’m still trying to get protein in and I have no problem with fluids just absolutely no energy at all. None

I’m now 8 days post op from band revision to vsg. It’s been a major wake up call for me on the difference of recovery and wanting food. Just remember to drink fluids and it’s ok to be in pain I wasn’t expecting it to be like how it is . Good luck

May 6th scheduled today! Revision band to sleeve.

Did any of y’all have to go back through all the nutritional visits for 6 months prior or were you able to just get authorization for a revision? Thank you

Its been 5 months.. with hard work and being true to myself me and my little tool will get to my goal.. started at 220lbs only being 4'11'' wore xl-xxl shirts and 18 pants NOW im 170 wear medium tops and bottom's and the last pair of jeans i bought was a size 12 and the are baggy...

I love the t25 workouts. You look so great!

It's called greens! It doesn't add but 15 cals to ur shake and has no sugars and less than 5 carbs you can't even put a peach in the blender and get less than a scoop. I have tried so many protein powders as well my fave is gnc lean shakes 26 grams of protein smells great and are delicious. I can drink those plan. !!

I also don't see any type of greens in ur meals. Those greens help break down all that protein . They have a powder that taste like fruit I add it to me protein shakes but I don't add any fruit I use the fruit as a treat now! Hope they helps

You might be having to many sugars! All ur fruit yes it's all natural and it's fruit but that can make up gain. Was a huge issue for me to lower but once I did I started seeing the scale move more. I know ur not eating a lot of carbs and it looks to be healthy as well but potatoes have a lot of starch which a sugar. Try and Knox those out maybe every other day and see if that helps.

I have 7cc in my 10cc band I'm not quit at the green zone but I'm almost there . My dr says sometimes it takes the full 10 to get to green and then one day u wake up and it'll be too tight. I'm in need of a fill again now just a small one. My dr always wants me to be clear with him and he lets me decided if I need/ want a full fill or half fill. You know ur body . I can't eat a hamburger I'm lucky if I can get a hamburger patty. Try eating small tiny bites , use a toddler spoon or fork. Wait a few seconds before taking another bit. It get annoying but I found thst when I take my time I'm not really as hungry and I end up not eating much at all. Good luck

Lol I would save some of those moves till after some weight it shed. It keeps getting better and better!

My dr. calls me the model child when i come in because once i lay back on that bed my port is in plan sight..ive lost 11 inches in the tummy area so they told me the more i lose the more itll be none. I have a little lump when i wear a tight shirt. but it doesnt bother me. i just can sleep on my side that the port is on. its doesnt hurt but its not comfortable to me anymore. .. my dr said once i hit my goal i can have it put somewhere else if i choose to..
