9 months out today

Its been 9 months and I have only lost 53 lbs. I can eat EVERYTHING and lots of it without problems and I rarely ever dump. I have lost all motivation and it doesn't feel like I have ever had the surgery. Is this grounds for a revision? I feel such like a failure since the scale hasn't moved in months, okay, well up they have but I can usually fight to get back to the 53 lost. Am I the only one doing this bad????

Connie How much did you have to lose? If you were/are a "lightweight" then your loss will be slower but should still be steady. Have you talked to your surgeon? Don't be afraid to ask him/her because your surgeon needs to know what is going on...good or bad. I'm sooo glad you posted because it means you have NOT lost motivation. Tanya

Connie; What are you eating? Why are you eating things that aren't protein dense? Are you exercising? Are you getting your water in? Have you attended any follow-up appointment with your surgeon? What does he say? If your pouch was not formed correctly, that would probably be grounds for revision, but it doesn't sound like you are following the post-op guidelines for nutrition. If you're not going to do the follow-up care, why would you put your body through another surgery? I am not flaming you when I say this, I'm responding to how I interpreted your post. WLS is not a magic bullet. There is work involved to be successful. I think you need to take a look at what you've been doing and what you need to do to succeed and decide if you're willing to do that. If you are, then go back to basics for a few weeks. Go back to liquids if that's what you need to do to get on track. Then stick with protein firs****er, vitamins and exercise. Get the carbs, especially the processed carbs, out of your diet.
