When does the weight loss start?

Can anyone comment on when significant weight loss begins following revision surgery? My surgery was 6 days ago and I've been following the liquid diet instructions to the letter, getting the right protein and have been very active (walking several miles per day) but it seems I've already hit a plateau.  The only thing that comes to mind is that my body may be in starvation mode and storing any calories taken in.  I'd appreciate any comments.  Thanks.

You are way too early out from surgery to worry about losing yet, you need to concentrate on healing now and the weight will come later. It would help to know what you revised from and to. Some surgeries are longer to recover from.

Also what did you revise from and to.  What procedure did they preform?

And you still have alot of post op fluid retention. It will start falling off. Stay the course and keep doing what you are doing ! Congrats !

 

Thanks for the comments!  I had a reconstruction of an RNY. Original RNY in 2005 - last week I had a procedure where the stoma and pouch were reconstructed plus I had half of my stomach removed.

 

I think its really 2 early to say, but the weight WILL come off, I am 8 days post op from lap band to rny revision and so far I have lost -11 lbs! Everyone is different, be patient :)

Congrats and thanks for the encouragement!

 

It will fall off I had a revision Jan 20 n I have lost 31 pounds

I revised from the band to the sleeve 4 months ago. I have lost 30lbs. I have been stalled for 2 weeks. It will come off just give it time.

I agree with these posters...be patient...it will come off:)  just concentrate on healing! 5.5 months out I am now 80 lbs down. I was a band to ds revision....all the significant weight loss happened combining those months together:) good luck and relax! you body will start kicking in:)
