I know 😔 I just want to lose more. Quicker. I need to be under 200😢😢 I tired of being a hermit

Don’t get me wrong you guys. My revision was done on March 9 and I’ve already lost 35 pounds so I’m happy, it’s just not what I was expecting . I had the perfect sleeve but the pregnancies forced my pouch to spread. The last pregnancy I was on complete bed rest for the entire thing. I guess I’m sad

Please don't compare the weight loss rate of a man to the weight loss rate of a woman. You're setting yourself up for disappointment.

The bypass does alot more than the sleeve ever could... Being that bypass has your 2nd attempt it will not be the same as a virgin surgery..
RNY BYPASS was the best decision I ever made and I know it has changed my metabolism I can no longer gain weight and I've lost 152lbs in 8 months and some days I don't even get hungry.. but you need to still have self control and be mentally prepared..
It's not a magic trick

As a never-sleeve I can only imagine how strong the restriction with a sleeve might be. I went from MGB to RNY and I get uncomfortably full way faster now.

Thank for responding. I will go over everything that you suggested and make sure to make adjustments. I appreciate your advice

stalls usually last about 1-3 weeks. If it's been more than that, double check your food intake. Are you weighing/measuring things? Are you logging everything you eat? Is it in line with your clinic's requirements? If no, that's where to start. If yes, then as you said, make sure you're not getting enough fluids - maybe step up the exercise (although as they say, weight loss is 80% diet and 20% exercise). Or if you're already doing all of this, maybe you're just in an unusually long stall. But if this thing drags on more than a month or so, double check and make sure you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing. Weight loss DOES slow down quite a bit the further out you go, but you should still be able to lose if you're currently at 191 (the last 20 lbs can be a real bear to get off, but you're not there yet...). It could be that your calorie level is a bit too high for you - but double check all of these other things first.

Agreed. My 3 week stall lasted 3 weeks, from about week 2.5 to about week 5.5. I was SO frustrated. But it broke and I've been losing since. At that time I went from weighing daily to weighing weekly. Doesn't change the numbers but at least I could not focus on them most of the week and just focus on eating my plan and walking.

yep - you're in the infamous three week stall that almost all of us experience. Do a search for it on this site and you'll find hundreds - if not thousands - of posts on it. Just stick to your program and the weight loss will eventually start up again. My first stall lasted two weeks. Once it broke, i lost like 6-8 lbs within a couple of days.
you'll have other stalls along the way - it's very common. Just keep sticking to your program and they'll eventually break.
also, your weight loss is fine. I lost 16 lbs the entire first month, and I ended up losing all my excess weight (over 200 lbs). Your rate of weight loss has nothing to do with your final result - but your level of commitment DOES.

Sounds like you are in the three week stall that lot of people experience for up to two to three weeks. As we go through the food stages and probably increase our calorie intake a little, our bodies take time to adjust. If you are concerned speak to your dietician, make sure you are keeping a food journal and are eating the food volumes and type of foods in your guidelines. Also make sure you are getting sufficient non calorie fluids.
Keep calm, it will come.

So here's something you probably didn't know going into a revision from sleeve to bypass: with a sleeve your natural/original pyloric sphincter/valve remains intact but once converted you no longer have use of it. The strong restriction that was felt/existed with a sleeve *may* never be felt again.
But that's OK because you have a malabsorption tool now and if you use it properly (not chasing a restriction feeling & following through with the lifestyle change) you'll do just fine ❤

I think my problem is the lack of Protein 😞😞 the shakes don’t stay down and I hateeeeeee vomiting so I’m afraid to even try other brands. I’m literally on Water and broth ( chicken) 90% is in my head but 10 % is hunger because of lack of protein. I’ll figure it out. I’ve been outside for a bit today and I’m in a much better mood 😌

They get itchy that’s normal and I’ll try that because I’m in deeeeeeppp depression. I know it’s head hungry because all I want is Pasta 🍝🥴🥴

I need to start doing that. I’m basically on just flavored/ regular Water, Gatorade zero and chicken broth 😞😞 I was hoping this phase would speed by put living in a house with my husband and 3 children with full appetites is killing me!

I don’t wanna seem weak or greedy but I’m so hungry and I’m only 9 days out of surgery!! I’m tired of Clear Liquids. I honestly feel like I’m losing my mind. I know it’s90% in my head but this food addict is dying for a fix😞😞😞😞

THANK YOU! ♥️ I’m honestly doing much better. I’ve balanced my diet to include as much Protein as I can handle and the hunger isn’t my constant companion anymore 😂
