I feel your pain! I was a failed band, got from 295 to just above 200 then started having band issues, eventual prolapse and removal. I was back to 255 when I finally had my RNY....I'm back, almost to 200.... Been 200.6 for a couple weeks now....and really have to chew myself out not to have the 'dammit you're a failure' thoughts. I was warned pre-op that revisions tend to lose slower. While I have continued to lose, many of my fellow February friends around here have lost way more than me, a few are even at goal!!!! But there are some of us still hanging in the 50-60 pounds lost area. And that's okay! We may be slower, but we'll get there! It's not a race to the finish line. The prize isn't for who gets there quickest, the prize is your health and happiness and it doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you get there.

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 200.6

I heard that too, I dont understand why revisions would be slower? does anyone have an answer?...I weigh exactly the same as you LOL....

My daughter had RNY 14 months ago she lost 130 pounds so far and she is still loosing ! I think slower might be better cause this is something you want to do forever ! My brother in law lost weight super fast when he had RNY and as soon as he got to goal weight he stopped extersising and went back to old ways and gained his weight back . My goal is to live till I'm 85 so I don't care how fast I loose just as long as I can maintain a healthy weight the rest of my life.Yeah, I mean I dont care if I doesnt fall off, just thought it would be a little more consistent....I dont understand if it calories in calories out then no calories in should be weightloss....but i will tell ya, if I ate 1 too many calories i would gain!!!

Nothing scientific but I really think with all the ups and downs and starvation mode etc my body had become extremely resourceful and knows how to suck ever last drop out of every calorie I eat :/

      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.
