for some reason I didn't notice that you said you're a revision patient. Yes - the others are correct. You normally don't lose as much or as quickly as you do as those with a virgin surgery.
Damn.
Thanks for the explanation. I don't want to be like this forever. I may just cry. I'll keep on keepin' on (what choice do I have now?) but its depressing to hear that. It's like I was meant to be obese forever.
sigh.
Revision patients just do not lose like those with a virgin weight loss surgery. It seems like it should be the same, but if you research it, it rarely happens.
It might be because the body has learned to adapt to a major weight loss with the first surgery and fights harder to keep the weight on with the revision. That is just my theory.
Count calories, exercise, and make sure you stay on track. If malabsorption helps, consider that a bonus.

I am a revision patient. What does that have to do with things? I went from sleeve to bypass, so I would expect the same weight loss with malnutrition happening each time i eat something. 3 week stall? oh no :(... well I hope it ends soon. Thanks for the post.
Firstly, you are a revision not a virgin surgery, so you probably can't expect to drop 100lbs in 6 months.
Secondly you are in a great time position to be experiencing the three week stall (literally thousands of posts if you search it).
I'm not sure what you expected, but weight loss is a marathon not a sprint. Sounds to me like you're doing ok

Hi, thanks for the replies.
Sample menu:
Breakfast and lunch = double dosage of protein powder shake. It takes me all day at work to drink it. Otherwise, I drink water or sugar free tea.
Dinner comes from Baribox.org, which are bariatric sized meals, low carb and low cal. I can only eat half of the meal as it is.
That's why I'm confused. I can't be consuming that many calories yet here i am, stalled out. I just don't get it. It's possible my antidepressant medication is causing the issue but I don't know. :(
10 years in and I still sneeze if I've eaten too much. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say that my pouch is still 90% as restrictive as it was during year one.

Ten years into it, I think the single biggest barrier is remembering that the surgery is just a tool, not a magic bullet. I've not had substantial gains over the last 10 years, only 10-20lbs three times, and I typically lose them very quickly once I go back to the low carb lifestyle for awhile. I don't really have many surgery related restrictions on what I can eat, albeit in very very small portions. In addition to that, the same foodie that enjoys eating still lives inside my head and he's not going anywhere. Oh, and a lesson I learned very early on (but not immediately post-op because EVERYTHING sucked for the first couple of months) was to drink water. Lots of water. If I don't, the muscle cramps are unbearable.

It really comes down to what you're eating and how much of it you consume. What exactly are you eating and how much of it? Are you measuring/weighing/tracking what you eat?
Not all protein drinks are created equally. Some are higher in sugar and carbs than others.
Was the revision from the sleeve to the bypass?
Did your surgeon give you a plan to follow?
