Revision Question
cmblackmon35 replied to cmblackmon35's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Good morning, thanks for your feedback....I am starting to see that....There are times when I feel like I am doing something wrong when I don't see the numbers going down....But I am going to keep doing what I am doing with my exercise and eating ....I am going to talk with my doctor at my upcoming apt about my concerns. -
Good morning all.....I was just wondering if there are others on here who have had revision surgery due to a past WLS.....And after you had a revision, how much weight loss were you losing per week. I am 8 weeks post op and so far I have loss 35 since surgery(2/16/15) And 44lbs in total from my starting weight (2/3/15).

Good morning....Okay is it just me or am I doing something wrong here....Here it is, I am 4 weeks post op and so far I have only lost 25lbs since my surgery...I know that if you don't get in your Proteins and all it can slow down your weight lost (understand that). I have been able to up my Protein intake now that I am on soft foods and all and now I can get protein in by other ways besides my Protein drinks and shakes....I am doing my exercise and all...so what gives...I am lost, seems like nothing that I am doing is working to jump start my weight lost again...If any one have any input...please help!!!

Good morning everyone....I planned on posted this on Wednesday but I was dealing with death in my family. Okay, here is an update...After dealing with the stall that I was having, I took a lot of the advise that was giving by increasing my calories, looking at my exercise workout and everything in between. So I decided to weigh myself on Wednesday and I was down another 4.5lbs. It may not seem like a lot...but it is to me....Thanks for all of the support that you all have not only given to me but to others who are dealing with the same thing...

@@jrp12365, we all had to deal with that after having surgery. And like Luna222 stated it's due to the gas and all the Fluid that is giving to you when and after you had your surgery....And you will loss all of that after a few days..

Good morning everyone, My name is Candice, I am 38 married to a wonderful man of 18 years and mother of 4 wonderful daughters. Okay, here is my weight loss story. I had a gastric bypass back in Sept 2003 and lost a total of 150lbs..But started having a lot of heath issues that weren't related to my surgery and was placed on 15 different medicines and 11 were steroids. So after dealing with my weight and trying to loss the weight without much success, I decided to find a doctor to help me out. After many test and all, my doctor found out that my stomach had went from a size of a pecan to the size of a lemon....So we decided that a revision of my first gastric bypass would be the best. I starting weight was my most high of 340( my weight went up and down over the past year), on surgery date I was sitting at 331. Now I am 3 weeks post op I am weighting in at 306...I am so proud of myself and know that this is my second chance and having a healthy life. I am truly bless to be at this point in my life and knowing that I have a wonderful support group at home makes it worthwhile.

cmblackmon35 replied to jencooper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess we are all in the same boat...I am also 4 weeks post op and dealing with a stall as well...I was also thinking the same thing, that this was to early to be dealing with a stall...but now I see it fooled me....But I am reading and listening to others about getting my proteins in, my water and upping my exercise...Hopefully we all will be out of this stall very soon.. I wish everyone the best... -
