Greetings from NJ./Revision
Had my revision a week ago ay Virtua Mt. Holly hospital. Had RNY back in 2012 at U of Iowa. Dr. Sharma was amazing. i had gained 35 (the stress of going through a divorce with an alcoholic didn?t help matters). My new sweetie was is supportive and amazing
Looking forward to shaking LOOSE this weight and getting back to LOSING again
Note. The ticker is an old one. Have to redo it.
For most people a revision results in about a 20 pound weight loss. Part of that is from the liquid diet before and after the revision. When we get first surgery they are taking a stomach that can hold the amount of a two-liter soda bottle and reducing it to the size of an egg or even smaller.rr
We learn how to eat enough calories to gain weight, even with a very small stomach. The revision makes it a little smaller but most of us can easily just eat smaller meals a bit more often and weight stays pretty much the same.
If you read the revision board you will see many with high hopes and expectations before revision but very rarely anyone posting success after the first month or so.
The secret to losing the weight again is just to eat less calories than you burn. I found Weigh****chers new program extremely helpful. It took more than two years to lose 30 pounds but it did stay off. I highly recommend you start with the book, The Shift by Gary Foster.
You can lose the weight without another surgery. If you have another surgery, you still have to reduce calories for any lasting weight loss.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
