I had a revison 11-30-07 and have lost 39lbs since but for the 3 weeks I have lost 4lbs and gained back the same 4lbs. I'm watching everything from protien intake to water intake. Can anyone tell me what or how to get process going again?  I know from talking to other people who have had a revision it's slow going. I'm praying I'm not a failure. The VGB in 98 started off great but I gained it back now RNY  I thought  would help me loose again. I'm worried and depressed.

I can't promise this will work, but when I notice a plateau with myself, I have a "cheat" day.  I'm normally pretty regimented with my eating so I think my body sort of adjusts and temporarily stops losing.   Don't go crazy, but have foods you don't normally eat...add a few more carbs, try also eating smaller meals more often, like every 3 hours instead of only at traditional mealtimes.  That may do the trick and help jump start your weight loss again.  Good luck!!

Congrats Sarita on your weight loss!  I'd say that almost 40 pounds in that short amount of time is amazing!!!!  (but then I never count December as a TRUE weight loss month :)...... With plateau's, I've been told to shake it up in some way or another.....the general rule is to increase:  protein, water, exercise and decrease:  carbs, calories, cheese, salt, nuts But...I know that if I have a big old FIBER filled kind of meal with an honest to goodness baked potato (gasp!) and even some sour cream on it, with maybe a giant salad (sprinkle some flax see on there for a nutty flavor and extra fiber)........follow it with a nice long walk and a couple of protein drinks.....it seems like magic for me the next day on the scale.   I'm sure that breaking a plateau is just one of those weird things that everyone has to find a prsonal "right" for!  ......  Mostly, I think we have to just wait it out til our body has to obey Mother Nature AND Science and finally give it up! I hit a plateau a couple of weeks ago with my Revision countdown and then dropped a ton at one weigh-in!  .....Hang in there!  It's going to happen! Let us know what you figure out to do the trick for you!  It might help one of us when a plateau strikes our skinny slide down!!!!
