Ok I'm just going to post this in here. Who is a slow loser and what is slow to you? I'm asking coz I'm a sleeve to Rny come June coz I no matter how much I workout and how little I eat I don't loss weight. In my 6 1/2 months with the sleeve I lost 35lbs. The 35lbs was lost in the first 3 months nothing after. I live off 800-1000 cals a day easy workout 5 days a week. So I'm kind of wanting to find ppl that just could not loss weight no matter how hard they tried before they got the Rny and have lost weight. Any help here would be good I'm so worried about doing this all over again and it still not work.

I had Rny 2/14 and starting weight was 217, and as of last Friday 191. That is 26lbs in 2 months which is slow!!! My surgery was open with over a 6 inch incision and 5 small incisions in a failed attempted of laparoscopic due to old scar tissue. I have dieted for over 6 yrs with minimal loss so this was it for me at 45 yrs old. I was a slow to get exercising but have started vigorously and increased Protein. I have to work hard for every pound loss even with the surgery, but it is coming off with 800-1000 cal I do a day and at least 70g Protein.

I'm a slow loser too :( I'm 1 yr. post op. started at 216 and I am 163 now. My goal is 140 and it seems like I will never make it. I stick to my surgeon's diet plan, exercise like crazy, jog, walk, run, incline 7 days a week for 1+hours. I also have thyroid issues, I had m thyroid removed 20 years ago and on hormone replacement. I don't know whether that has anything to do with it. I'm a bit frustrated at this point but I cannot eat nearly as much as I did pre-op though.

By looking at you, it doesn't appear that u have that much to lose. Smaller person, less calories required for daily activities. So basically if ur wobbling around like a meatball with legs (as I was a few short months ago) ur loss rate will be higher! Be glad ur not in that position!! I too had a failed sleeve from 2007 that I paid cash for in Mexico!!! Can you say desperate?!? I regained all but 40 lbs prior to the RNY! Good luck : )

Yeah same here I thought the sleeve was best but I was wrong so here's to take two for me rather do it now then sit and maybe put on all I have lost then do it. I was self pay for the sleeve 25k I'll be self pay for the Rny but it will get done. I don't think I would have thought about doing it if it was not for All of the countless test I've had done to figure out what the reason was in the 1st Place to why I stoped loosing weight after 3months out :(. It's nice to know I'm not The only failed sleeve :)

Although I lost 32 pounds in the first 3 weeks (I think due to nausea making me unable to tolerate shares & horrendous diarrhea), I've slowed to 1-2 pounds a week. I exercise everyday. Trying to stay positive. I can see that I'm toning, and I'm moving easier.

      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.
