When am I gonna lose some freaking weight?!?!



Recommended Posts

I had a revision from sleeve to mini bypass over two weeks ago and have followed everything to a "t" including daily walks and have lost like 3lbs!!!!

When I had my sleeve 7years ago I was prolly 15 lbs down the first two weeks!!!

Can someone say something to make me feel better ❤️‍🩹

I know that weight loss with revision is typically slower and somewhat less. Also if you weigh less on surgery day your loss will be less because you don’t have as much to lose.

How much weight did you lose in pre op? More you lose prior to surgery less likely you are going to lose a lot quickly in the immediate post op stage. Also depends how much weight you have to lose as well. Was your surgery date weight the same as your original surgery day weight?

Hi Lori - what are your stats? (If you have the option to fill in the sidebar info, that'd be helpful :) )

That said, restrictive surgery --> MGB'ers lose on average 14.2 BMI points in the first year (posted the study a while back). So the odds are on your side.

      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.
