Slower weight loss second time around?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 months post op revision and the scale hasn't moved in the last 4 weeks. I've only lost 28 lbs. it's very frustrating.

Hi Pink Lantern i know your fustration well. i will be 4 months out september 24th.. i had my revision from band to sleeve on May 24th and after losing 25lbs (250 - 225) in about 2 and 1/2 months i have been stuck on 225 for the past 4 or so weeks too.. i agree and understand that the weight loss may be a little slower but i didn't think it would just STOP lol smh i just continue doing what i am suppose too i do notice the inches coming off though.. keep doing what you are doing it will eventually move. good luck !

I added a cheese stick and protien granola bar to my daily routine because some vets suggested I get more calories. That broke my 3 month stall. I am starting to understand this whole lose then stall thing. It gives my body time to adjust and my skin to tighten. I guess I am 'embarrassing the stalls" LOL Still super slow weight loss, 33 lbs since May 28th.

I didn't lose any weight with the lap band. I was band 11 yrs ago. I will have the revision a week from tomorrow. Going from band to sleeve switch. My Dr is very confident I will lose at least 90lbs. Has anyone gone from the band to Dodenal switch in one surgery?

breakfast: one scrambled egg or 1/2 greek yogurt

snack: low fat string cheese or protien granola bar

lunch: 2 slices of lunch meat or 3 oz chicken breast or 3 oz fish

snack: 1/2 apple or cheese or 5 grapes or Protein granola bar

dinner: 3 oz fish or 3 oz steak or what ever I eat till I am full. Never more than 1/2 cup

Also I drink 1 to 1 1/2 Premier Protein shakes through out the day, plus 40 oz of Water

I walk 1 mile on the treadmill and do about 10 minutes of various weight machines at the gym daily.

Stick to the PreOp diet! It's a little difficult at first by by the 2 or 3 day you will be fine. I had a few awful headaches but pushed through them. I'm at the point that I'm not thinking about food. I do have cucumbers and lettuce (very small) amount at lunch, I am allowed to have veggies.

Post op 15 days today. Had my lap band since 2009 before my revision on Sept. 2, 2016. I'm 15 lbs down since I had my surgery. I average 597 cals, 60 carbs per day since the surgery. I talk a daily walk for 20 minutes.

Super fast weight loss is almost always Water weight. People just don't lose 5 lbs of fat per day. The way I look at it, if I intake 600-800 cal a day, I'm going to lose weight at a good rate unless I'm retaining Water for some reason. If I'm not losing, then I have to figure out why I'm retaining water. That's the way I look at it.

Btw, the sleeve makes it easier to cut back on calories/carbs, way easier... I'm really happy with the switch.

Really happy. :)

Each time I think I'm okay to keep the band for now. I read these forums and change my mind again.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
