You have not lost 1lb in a year+ Or are you gaining and losing the same weight?
Gaining and losing.
-
were you a lower BMI before surgery? I've known a few people who were on the lower end of high bmi pre-op and they were only able to lose like 20 lbs total.
Either way what is your heart telling you to do?
I was at 41.

I am so sorry you are struggling. This surgery is not an easy one at all! How far post op are you?
My surgery was march 28, 2016. Sleeve.

Why such a difference? What is your Protein target. Mine is 100 grams a day. That means at least 100 grams a day. 60 is very low, especially for a guy.
It is very low. I just can't get enough in during the day.

My stats are exactly the same except take the .5 off everything. I had the sleeve plus a DS loop on 6/8/16Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
My surgeon just brought up the DS for me since I'm not losing. How do you like yours?

Those who say this is the easy way out is clueless. I've struggled just as much losing weight after surgery as I did before surgery. I can't lose weight no matter what my medical team and I try. I follow the diets suggestions from the doctors and dietitians. I get my fluids and my Vitamins.
My husband and I got into a fight and he called me a failure yesterday.
My doctor is suggesting a revision from my sleeve to the duodenal switch. That scares me and everyone around me says not to do it.
I don't want to go through another surgery and fail again.
I just want to cry but I am empty. I have no more to give right now. I am at a loss. I've tried it all.

It depends if I have a shake or try to do all solids.

I can't even eat 5 wings. I had 4 and was full. Crazy. With as little as I eat, I thought I'd lose weight faster.
My doctor says I'm losing at a good pace, so I'm going to trust him. I just wish it was faster.

That seems pretty good. That's about what I get, and the doctors seem happy with it.Whats everyones average loss per week right now? Mine is 2-3 lbs which is pretty frustrating

I hate those little stalls. I even gain a lb or two sometimes.

My first BM was Thursday. I've had one every day since then. Very small.Anyone from 3/28 have a BM yet? I've been on stool softeners, walking, drinking, passing gas but nothing yet.

I had a great recovery so far. Healing nicely. Getting my Vitamins and minerals in, fluids, and Protein in every day. Walking a few miles every day. No pain at all. Here comes the bad news. Two days after surgery, my mother passed away. So I have to travel now for the funeral and stay on top of everything while traveling. Wish me luck.

Everything's going great. Just focusing on my fluids and getting rest. I came home yesterday. It was amazing to be home the day after a major surgery. Got out of the house and walked a bit today too. Pain isn't too bad.

I'm nervous about my surgery in the morning. I hope everything goes well and I hope I can get some sleep tonight. I'm nervous and excited.
