No weight loss/stalled for 2 months!! FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I had my RNY to DS revision surgery 12/29/11. I started at 263. I am 40 years old. I weighed 210 on 3/18/12.............. and I have not dropped a pound SINCE!!!!!!!!!! I understand stalls, and your body adjusting, but I am now "playing" between 211 and 218. I have had some NSV's, like dropping another pants size, but is there anything I can do to get the scale moving down again???? I am Vitalady's vitamin regemin. I drink at least 2 protein coffee's daily. I would love some inspiration and insight, please!!! ~~~ I know, I know, Throw the scale OUT the window!!!!!!

Yes, my incision got infected the same week my leak was detected and I was put back onto NPO until I flew back to California from Alaska. Since my wound had to be packed, that doubled or tripled my chances for a hernia due to the wound packing, and it is a HUGE, HUGE upper abdominal hernia, under my boobs, at the top of my incision, the size of a babys head (NO JOKE!!!). I will be having the repair in August. I will also be calling this week to the local plastic surgeon to see if she can "tag-team" my hernia surgery and do some tightning on my abdomen at the same time.
I feel like I am pregnant too!!!!!!!!!! But the "baby" is too high up!!! HA HA!!!
July is not too far away, that is AWESOME, Gail!!!!!

Sophia,
Thanks for the advice!!!! I understand that revisions loose slower, ~Since this is essentially our second go-around~ but we are just a little different than virgin DS surgeries because of this (my thoughts, anyways). So, I am SUPER GLAD that revisioners are chiming in with their experiences as well, so I can get all the feedback possible!!!! Adding another shake sure could not hurt anything, and THANKFULLY, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the protein coffee's, and think of it as a reward/treat!!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much have you lost since your revision??? (In the last 18 months)??

Sorry you are frustrated. Shaking it up a bit always seems to work here. I assume you are also getting in at least 64 plus ounces of water a day? I has a stall once that was just shy of 3 months and BOOM, I dropped again. Be patient, keep on track, it will happen.
