Slower weight loss second time around?

[liposuction68 178]

I'm 3 months post op revision and the scale hasn't moved in the last 4 weeks. I've only lost 28 lbs. it's very frustrating.

Hi Pink Lantern i know your fustration well. i will be 4 months out september 24th.. i had my revision from band to sleeve on May 24th and after losing 25lbs (250 - 225) in about 2 and 1/2 months i have been stuck on 225 for the past 4 or so weeks too.. i agree and understand that the weight loss may be a little slower but i didn't think it would just STOP lol smh i just continue doing what i am suppose too i do notice the inches coming off though.. keep doing what you are doing it will eventually move. good luck !

I added a cheese stick and protien granola bar to my daily routine because some vets suggested I get more calories. That broke my 3 month stall. I am starting to understand this whole lose then stall thing. It gives my body time to adjust and my skin to tighten. I guess I am 'embarrassing the stalls" LOL Still super slow weight loss, 33 lbs since May 28th.

I didn't lose any weight with the lap band. I was band 11 yrs ago. I will have the revision a week from tomorrow. Going from band to sleeve switch. My Dr is very confident I will lose at least 90lbs. Has anyone gone from the band to Dodenal switch in one surgery?

breakfast: one scrambled egg or 1/2 greek yogurt

snack: low fat string cheese or protien granola bar

lunch: 2 slices of lunch meat or 3 oz chicken breast or 3 oz fish

snack: 1/2 apple or cheese or 5 grapes or Protein granola bar

dinner: 3 oz fish or 3 oz steak or what ever I eat till I am full. Never more than 1/2 cup

Also I drink 1 to 1 1/2 Premier Protein shakes through out the day, plus 40 oz of Water

I walk 1 mile on the treadmill and do about 10 minutes of various weight machines at the gym daily.

Stick to the PreOp diet! It's a little difficult at first by by the 2 or 3 day you will be fine. I had a few awful headaches but pushed through them. I'm at the point that I'm not thinking about food. I do have cucumbers and lettuce (very small) amount at lunch, I am allowed to have veggies.

Post op 15 days today. Had my lap band since 2009 before my revision on Sept. 2, 2016. I'm 15 lbs down since I had my surgery. I average 597 cals, 60 carbs per day since the surgery. I talk a daily walk for 20 minutes.

Super fast weight loss is almost always Water weight. People just don't lose 5 lbs of fat per day. The way I look at it, if I intake 600-800 cal a day, I'm going to lose weight at a good rate unless I'm retaining Water for some reason. If I'm not losing, then I have to figure out why I'm retaining water. That's the way I look at it.

Btw, the sleeve makes it easier to cut back on calories/carbs, way easier... I'm really happy with the switch.

Really happy.

Each time I think I'm okay to keep the band for now. I read these forums and change my mind again.
