2 weeks post revision
Today is 2 weeks from my revision. My story is very long but I never experienced being a new RNY patient the first time around. I have done great, healing well, feel good, etc. I feel like a newbie because I have all the same questions newbies have. I feel different from them because I know revisions don't lose weight as well as newbies. I have lost 23 lbs so far and this it great, but today is the first day that I didn't lose any weight. I'm trying not to be upset about it, but I can't help it.
Thank you. My stoma was overdilated by an inexperienced MD when I had a stricture at 4 months post RNY. Therefore nothing was ever really in my pouch. It stayed really small. My original surgeon is back in town and laparoscopically stitched my stoma. I regained 35lbs from my lowest weight. I have never been anywhere close to my goal weight. My weight has always been >300lbs. I am so gratefull for this new chance. My pouch is <1 oz..
Hey girlfriend!
Don't get all worried about missing ONE day of weight loss! What's up with that??? You know that you have lost a serious amount of weight in just a few days and that's with anesthesia swelling going on as well! Weigh 2 go!!!! ...... Just keep with your program guidelines and get your body moving (walk, walk, walk and drink, drink, drink)! So if you've got a hundred pounds to lose then were you seriously thinking of 50 per month? Yikes! ........ Take a deep breath and start thinking of how you're going to reward yourself in December when you're at your goal weight!!!! It's a journey.....not an occasion!
....thinking happy thoughts for you......
