Let's look at it different -- 15 pounds in 6 weeks is about 2-3 pounds per week. That's great considering you had major surgery. Not sure what you were expecting to lose. I assume you didn't gain your weight overnight, so why do you expect to lose it that quickly.

Please step back and take it literally one day at a time. Also check with your doc about your anti-depression meds.

You went from a strictly restrictive surgery to a malabsorptive surgery. Are you eating correctly for the bypass?? Each surgery has it's own set of food limitations/requirements. I can't advise because I had a virgin DS and my diet is completely different from yours. Hopefully other bypassers will give you some good advise.

Please slow down and reset your expectations.

Hi Angel

I support you too

Hi,

I have been post RNY for 11 years. I also had a revision in 2020. It may be the biggest challenge is your not eating enough calories. Starting your day with only a protein shake and it's taking you all day to consume it... may be the block your body is coming up against. Starting with a small balanced meal then following up with a protein shake could kick start your metabolism into gear. Then in the afternoon, another low carb high protein meal will continue the metabolic flow your body needs to let go of those extra pounds.

Remember these meals don't have to be huge.. just balanced according to your dietary needs.

I hope this tidbit helps... best of luck

I may have something of a ?cure? or maybe something confidence boosting 4 U .

I also never let peeple take pics of m ?fat ? self for so long before lifesaving WLS .

And I?m still hugely far from perfect ....though I?m extremely grateful every single day for how my life has changed and how far I?ve come :)

for me a big life changer was believe or not a seven dollar drugstore body soap .

It?s slightly acidic properties allowed me to continue to have taut skin throughout my ( massive) weight loss .

Granted I?m not that old ....but whatever. I lost a lot of weight and I?m grateful not 2 have much loose skin.

My entire point about this is everyone who touches me says my skin feels like silk . Like nothing they?ve ever touched before ...

So my tummy?s not a perfect six pac - my boobies after ten years post op ( and two years swinging free thanks to braless Covid quarantine) may b a bit imperfect ..... but no one can argue with how my skin feels cuddling or other .

... the product is Neutrogena grapefruit anti -acne 2% salicylic acid body wash .

In the short term it feels very refreshing.... long term I really think it helps spring the skin back and makes you truly silky , cellulite free and pore less .

I use it on my face every day and grrlz always ask m what creams I use to keep the skin so nice .

Truth is I use nothing but this seven dollar product and sunscreen . ( and peeple get INSULTED when I tell them th truth .... like I?m using some million dollar cream n lying lol )

I do not own stock in this company ( though I should probably buy some lol)

Thanks for all of the feedback. I'm having lapband removed soon, and then if I decide...ds. Just still processing info.
