I have lost 75lbs 10 months post sleeve to RNY revision.

I am 70lbs down with my sleeve to RNY revision. I still suffer with heartburn so that is a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping between the revision and the hernia fix it would take care of it.

Hi everyone! Glad to see you all are progressing well. I am still losing very slow. April I tracked 3.4lbs loss, same for June. I have 32lbs to get to my personal goal. I thought I would be further along, but honestly it doesn't disappoint me any more. I no longer have back and knee pain. My clothes are too big and I can walk with my kids and go to the pool without so much shame. I am getting there and will get to my personal goal. Drs goal has me losing and additional 20lbs but I don't even worry about that! I make good choices 85 percent of the time.

277 to 214. 39lbs to my personal goal.

Hi everyone! It is so hard to believe we are almost 7 months post op! I am 39lbs away from my personal goal of 175! I am still working out only 2-3x a week. My schedule is just crazy! My goal is to lose 1.5lbs a week. I am just trying to be realistic at this point. My average has been 6-8lbs a month since month 3 and I. April I only lost 2lbs. That totally sucked but I am still pressing forward. Yes, it is so much easier to snack now, but I really try to watch it! I don't cut my carbs completely and enjoy fruit, triskets, pretzels and crackers from time to time. I just don't OVER endulge.

@@SleeveandRNYchica Your doing great! 60lbs thats 2 1/2 consistant lbs a week. I couldn't do that before surgery no matter what I did, starve etc. If your working long hours that has to keep you busier so don't push yourself too much! I find the busier I'am the less I eat!!! I wear some ankle weights I've had for years to wear under my jeans during the day to burn a few more calories. I don't remember where I got them but that might help you if you run out of time to exercise, then maybe some leg lifts while sitting. Hang in there!

Thank you! That is a great idea! I tell you this is an interesting process it is great to see how we are all doing 6 months out. I am thankful for this process! I am so much a social eater and I miss my wine! But I am hanging tough in that department. Thank you all for sharing your updates.

I had sleeve to RNY revision on 10/21. I have lost 57lbs. My recovery was more difficult 2nd surgery, but I don't regret it for a minute. Love my bypass. I will be 6 months out on the 21st and hope to be 60+ lbs down

I was in surgery for 5 hours due to a lot of scar tissue

How are u feeling?

I had sleeve to bypass 10/21. Best decision ever!

I don't dump either. The past few weeks have been rough and I need to hit my personal goal of 217 for my 6 month appt. that will put me at 60lbs lost in 6 months. Very slow in comparison to others so I try not to compare. I was disappoint I don't dump. But I took some NyQuil and landed in the emergency room and was out of work almost a week. I started personal training but still need to get more consistent with my weekly workouts. I am starting a new position and it will make my already long day longer. Hoping I can in corporate it into my lunch hour. I am not hungry but head hunger is horrible. I try to stay away from junk most of the time.

I like the lemon black tea I mix with Water and it cuts the after taste. I also like the cocotine fruit punch.

@@SleeveandRNYchica Good to hear from you!!! Sorry you had the set back! 53 lbs is great! I've lost 50 since surgery!!! 35 more to go to get to 145 to keep it under 150!!! The weight loss has slowed down, but I haven't been walking like I was, need to step it up, literally!!! Keep going your looking great!!!!!!

Thank you! You are doing great @60&goin4it. The activity does help. I started working out last week and I have personal training once a week. I am 48lbs to my goal of 100lbs lost my surgeons goal is an additional 22lbs. I am just trying not to look that far ahead. This week was tough and I landed in the ER. So just trying to stay hydrated because I have not met Protein goals all week. I have been unable to eat. Hoping for a better week!

Sleeve to bypass revision 10/21 lbs down half way to my goal

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. I had bit of a setback this week and had to go back to liquids. I thought it was my gallbladder thank goodness it was nothing serious! I am 53lbs done and halfway to my goal.

It's not as fast as I thought it would be, but being a revision patient I was told it would be slower. Plus I really can't complain about 40lbs in 12 weeks!

I had revision from sleeve to RNY in Oct. my GERD is still here. My surgeon said with the more weight I lose it will hopefully go away. There is no guarentee. I have had no complications and I was scared! I am happy my decision.

I joined the gym last week and this week stuck in the house because of blizzard. I had my 3 month appt last week. Labs look great, I had to cut back on my B Vitamins and my cholesterol is 120! I am losing hair too. I have lost 28% of excesos weight. They don't like to set goals, but told me at 6 months they like to see 40-50% EWL. I think once I get in the gym. I have been snacking a bit much being stuck at home. Trying to drink plenty of Water. The struggle is Real!

I love the pumpkin

@Sleeveand RNYchica stalls are a part of the process. I am 8 weeks out from surgery and already stalled twice - the first time for 4 weeks and the second for a little over 2. Nevertheless, when I look at my total weight loss since surgery I cannot really complain. I have lost 20 lbs - that is an average of 2.5 lbs a week. Not bad.... in the scheme of things.Hang in there and keep following the plan - it works!

I know and thank you! I guess I am more concerned about what the dr thinks. My last visit I think they expected more and stalls where never mentioned. I expected it honestly. I am just concerned how they will respond at my next appt and I think that is where the pressure comes from.

I am in a super stall. The weight is just not budging. I think I have lost like 2lbs in the last two weeks. I know I got get to exercising more.....

I smelt different after surgery. I think the Vitamins did something to me. That was back when I was on straight liquids. My breath was horrible and my body odor and urine was different. I am 7 weeks out and glad to report I am back to normal.

I had bypass 10/21. I can drink comfortably with no problem. At first it would take me hours to drink a Protein Shake, now I can drink a Premier Protein in about 30-40 minutes. Some days I prefer something flavored like propel and other days just plain H2O. My program does not allow rice, bread, Pasta or quinoa. They have more low carb/paleo program.

@@SleeveandRNYchica & @@Cali_Angel I know how you feel, I was there at the very beginning, only 5 lbs the 1st 2 weeks after surgery & it seemed everyone else had these big #s. I hope you guys are staying away from the scale every day. But if you are & its the weekly not loosing, Its frustrating & I know it seems like it won't ever move but it will! I have faith in us! Don't let those old feelings of not being able to loose get you down!!! We are here for you both!!!! In this together & I hope when I get down you will help pick me up!! Hugs to you both!!!!@@Mogwaicat How are your mood swings coming? Feeling better? Hugs to you too!!!

Thank you!! I do weigh everyday but track only on Weds. It is still crazy to think weeks 3-7 almost nothing! It's like how can you eat so little and not lose weight lol!

I am so frustrated with this whole process. Trying not to be but I am. 5lbs is 4 weeks and again nothing this week. It is like a guessing game. If you are getting enough calories and Protein and exercise but not too much because we are already at a huge calorie deficit.

I did our menu for the week and I am doing all low carb cooking not that I am eating carbs like that anyway. I really hope I start to see a little more weight loss soon, today I just feel like crying....

Took the words right out of my mouth. I feel the same way. I feel like I'm failing! =(. Your not alone!

I know! It is crazy. I know I shouldn't be freaked out but I am. Just staying on course.
