3 weeks post-op revision

[lex2287 97]

I am 3 weeks post-op revision from sleeve to bypass. I have only lost 14 lbs in total since surgery. I have been following my plan and increasing my Protein. I brought up my concerns at my follow up and the surgeon said I most likely will not lose anymore weight. I am extremely frustrated and discouraged. Only thing is my gerd is better but I am and was hoping for additional weight loss since I gained about 50 lbs since my original sleeve surgery 5 years ago.. due to pregnancy and gerd. Anyone else in this boat or experience this on their journey that can help me out!

15lb in three weeks while healing is pretty good as far as I am concerned regardless of surgery date weight. Is your profile up todate? It shows your current weight as 245lb.

14 lbs in three weeks is actually fabulous - esp after a revision since weight loss is typically slower after revisions than it is after virgin surgeries.

I don't know why you wouldn't be able to lose more weight if you really work at it (which it sounds like you're doing). Don't give up yet!

I got told of the surgeon I would only lose about 3 stone the morning I went in for my op was a bit discouraged but lost 110 lbs in my first year

No my current weight is 255. Day of revision is was 270. My mom made a comment about I looked like I was losing weight but the scale doesn’t budge. It goes up like a pound but never down. 😩

Maybe take a break from the scale for a bit and just focus on meal prep and exercise when you can. I know easier said than done. I am looking at the scale a lot too. Our bodies need healing time, even after a revision. I heard week 3 is always for most people a stall. Look in a month and see.
