Hi all!
i got a revision 5 months ago (VSG to DS with a 26 BMI) after a 30lb regain. My post-op loss has been suuuuper slowwww.
I know what to do diet wise and I have done everything right (for the most part lol) but I was wondering since I only had 30 lbs to lose is that why it's so slow?
Ive only lost about 13-15 lbs depending on the day. I do retain lots of water so that part isn't as concerning. Before the holidays I'd gotten down to almost 20 lbs but it has crept back up and seems stuck.
I guess my question is, is this normal with being on the lower end weight loss goal wise?
thanks, y'all!
what does a days menu look like for you? Maybe we can help you tweak there...
Hi, I'm in the same position you were in. Did you end up getting SIPS? If so, how has it been? Did the doctor alter your sleeve at all? Thanks.
Thank You, I had gastric sleeve almost 8 years ago but I don't remember having constipation before hand I know that it happens after because your body is "asleep" I'm just hoping that I get some relief soon. I'm gonna order me some miralax to have on hand post surgery. I'm just nervous because I'm going under again but I know that everything will be fine. I sent you a friend request.
You will be fine..@everchanging !
today one week post op i weighed in at the same weight i did as when i went into surgery 242 ive been losing the 13 lbs of IV that was pumped into me at hospital leaving me and sending me home at 253 lol expected so not mad.. moving forward i will be setting some small goals weekly..
why are you nervous about surgery ?
are you scared its not going to work?
Recovery?
this is my third one and they all were similar as far as pain and recovery!
talk to me! if you have any questions you can send privately!
Thanks for the positive energy, I'm glad that everything went well with you....I have 7 more days until the big day...I'm starting to get nervous and excited.
Hi Just came back from revision from sleeve to gastric bypass TODAY ! for he same reasons as you all GERD/ACID REFLUX all went well i feel fine and now just hoping that i can lose all the regain at least 60 lbs..
Everchanging you will be fine too sounds like you got this .. if you need any questions answered please feel free to ask me anything..
Good luck to you all..
My surgeon already pre warned me about the weight loss but with my research I kinda figure that the weight loss wouldn't be as dramatic....I'm hoping for about 50 pounds.
Yea in definitely having mixed emotions as well bit I'm happy to get the relief that my surgeon said it's going to provide....Good luck with your up coming surgery.
I had revision for the same thing on 7/22/19. I lost like 20 lbs and that's about it. They said that you don't have the same metabolic change after a revision so large amounts of weight lost is unlikely (I also wasn't at a super high weight when I had it). Let me know if you have specific questions!
My doctor ran labs and my glucose is low. I'm not taking in enough calories. I was at normal BMI when I had the revision. I'm below now. She is referring me to a dietician and hopefully, that will get me on track.
I had so many problems throwing up prior to the revision that I'm terrified of eating and messing things up. Thus, the reason for the weight loss, low glucose and dizziness.
Thanks for all the tips. I certainly need all the help I can get!
