Slow weight loss

[ciprina_rey 1]

Hi everyone! I had sleeve to bypass revision surgery on 11/16/17. I was sleeved in 2012, and had unfortunately gained back quite a bit of weight after my 3rd and final pregnancy. I also developed horrible acid reflux. My surgeon and I decided that gastric bypass would be beneficial to me for weight loss and to help with the reflux. I am 5'0. I started out at 215, got down to 205 the day of surgery with the help of the 2 week liquid diet that was required. I feel like I am losing extremely slow. I weight myself every morning which I know I shouldn't do, but can't help it. I'm at 200 lbs now but have been stuck there for a few days and it's so frustrating because I'm still doing full liquids. I have been on support forums reading about people who drop weight like crazy the first few weeks and I feel so discouraged. Maybe I'm just expecting too much too soon. Does anyone else have the same issues/feelings? I drink my 64 oz of fluids daily, get in 60 grams of Protein from my Premier Protein shakes and sip on broth. I have had some sf pudding and sf Jello and popsicles but not much else. Any ideas what else I could incorporate into my diet? I start soft foods on 11/30/17. Thanks in advance

While my weight loss hasn’t been super slow- the past month it has been and I stall a lot. I started the gym 5 days; 30-1 hr walking. I started losing much faster. I know it’s hard to gym the first month or two- I’m at 10 weeks and barely started a week and half ago.. under 200lbs we don’t lose that fast. Just keep your head up and know that it’ll come off. Walk as much as you can to get your body going.

Hey, hopefully your stall has broken and you're on you way back down. I have a question for you though. You mentioned that you gained most of the weight back after your pregnancy. I'm just curious how much did you gain and how did you gain it? Were you eating not so great foods (carbs,sweets,etc)? I am really concerned about this because although I'm only 3.5 months post op, I want to have 2 more children once I'm in maintainence. Lol you have made me realize my worst fear. No offence to you but I'm so terrified of gaining the weight after pregnancy. Please if you can elaborate on what happened and how did your weight come back and lead you to a revision I would greatly appreciate it. And good luck getting back on track!

Hi there. Congrats on your new surgery. It's my understanding that you are still healing. So unfortunately the lack of loss is normal however I understand the fustration. Keep your Fluid up and if you experience any Constipation get some thing from your doctor to help. But you are on the right track and doing the right thing. It's easier said than done. But weighing less will be benificial to your well being. I used to weigh daily now just once a week though I get tempted. Good luck.
