3 Weeks DS Revision - DOWN 25lbs YAYY ME!!
Just checking in! Got on the scale this morning because I have been so busy with recovery that I forgot ALL about the fact that I would be losing weight. Heehee. Looked at the scale and it said 206....DOS I was 231...YAYYY MEEE!!!!
I ate 2 bites of an egg this morning and half of a small mashed potato from KFC for dinner. Nothing has come back up and Im flushing my feeding tube with lots of water daily. Im walking better now, still sore, but I should be okay in about 2 weeks. Woohoo!!!

Good evening everyone. I had my revision surgery on 8/4/10. on the day of surgery my weight was 232 lbs. I am currently at 206 lbs and the weight is truly coming off slowly....I am taking all my vitamins and I take a protein bar every morning. I have been walking and I am almost successful drinking my water daily. I first had my WLS in Oct 2000. I weighed 310 lbs and at my lowest weight I was 175lbs. I gave up smoking and the weight started going up....I would like to hear any suggestions you could all give me, as I want to continue on the right path. Thank you.

Congrats on your revision and high fives on your amazing weight loss! That's awesome for just 3 weeks!
I'd suggest you leave this forum behind you and move on to the DS forum for support and info. You'll get all of your questions answered by DS vets over there!
also....if you read thorough the site: www.dsfacts.com that can give you a lot of great info as well as guidelines to keep at it and achieve the success you are after!
Basic rules: Drink oodles of water, walk, shoot for at least 100 grams of protein (probably need protein drinks), get in your vitamins (check out www.vitalady.com for a DS listi) .....enjoy some healthy FAT (yup! that's the beauty of a DS!) and stay away from simple carbs: sugar, processed junk and white foods: pasta, rice, potato, flour, sugar, ....
Good luck!
