Whats wrong with me?

I had a gastric bypass 6.5 weeks aggo. It was a revision from a VBG done open in 2004. I have not lost any weight in 2 weeks. has anyone ever heard that revision patients dont lose much weight?

Probably just in a stall. It happens to everyone.

Don't be discouraged! At first, I only lost a few pounds after my gastric surgery - literally about 5 during the first two weeks. Then I stalled for a week. THEN the pounds started really coming off.

I listened to a friend of mine who told me not to worry what the scale said - to look more at how my clothes were fitting. She even went as far to say that the scale would discourage me and then I may revert back to my old habits which would mean that all my pain would have been in vain. She was so right! I've gone from a 22 dress size to a 14 dress size! And I've lost a little more than 50 pounds at this point!

I'm on my way to the gym for the first time since my surgery! I feel great - good enough that everyone says I'm glowing! And while I haven't kept to my diet (because living in New Orleans, I NEED food THAT TASTES GOOD!!!) , I am still eating smaller portions and cutting back on sugar. I am losing about a pound and a half a week now.

I just want to encourage you and anyone else that needs it - to KEEP THE COURSE and KEEP THE FAITH!!! As hard as it is, STAY OFF THE SCALE FOR NOW! Weigh yourself in a month if you want, but for now, use your clothes as your guide! The looser they become, the more you will be encouraged! After all, that's really what matters - that you feel comfortable in your clothes!

The very best to you and all of us! Again, KEEP THE FAITH! YOU WILL WIN!!!! 💜💚💛

wait loss DOES tend to be slower with revisions - BUT....you may just be in a stall right now.

Don't you remember the one-month stall? You're in a stall. It happens. Be patient with yourself.
