You are likely not doing anything wrong. You haven't put your stats on your profile: height, surgery day weight - these are helpful to other members to give an appropriate response.

Hmm,it does say it's private, also it won't let me add my surgery info not going to well this ha

So how tall are you and what did you weigh on surgery day?

I am 4ft 11,I weighed 14st 3 on surgery day 😊

For your start weight I think 9lb is great, you had a lowish start weight and your losses are not going be as high as people who weigh a lot more.

weight loss from revisions is usually not nearly as fast as it is with virgin surgeries. Also, if your BMI is comparatively low, that would mean a slower weight loss rate, too.

also, if you haven't lost in a week, you may be in a stall. Most people have their first stall during the first 4-6 weeks after surgery.

all that said, as long as your weight is gradually going down (even if you stall now and then, which you will...), you're good.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
