Recommended Posts

I know this is post op I'm in a way post and pre op ;). Let me explain I was sleeved 6 months ago. In that 6 months I only lost 35 lbs that's 5.8 lbs a month. I was told I need the metabolic reset of the RNY. I'm scared that it won't work that I will be the same as the sleeve. Has anyone had a revision at a low BMI and then done okay. I was 244 the day of my sleeve and 208 today. I eat right an workout 5 days a week so I was not slacking or not following my plan. It is 80/128 oz Water, 80/100 Protein, 800/1100 Cals and 50 to 100 carbs I have been and am doing this but my weight stopped coming off well after 3 months. My original doctor started to avoid me and my my questions why wasn't losing I had to find a secondary surgeon. The second surgeon told me that this wasn't normal and that I should think about a revision to RNY. So I'm here looking for anyone that has thoughts and information from people who have had a revision and done alright and people with a low bmi that have done alright. Any info you can give would be helpful.

Did they recheck your thyroid? If they didnt I would go to your primary docs and have its done after fasting.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
