Is it true or am I just giving myself excuses?

I had the lap band in 2008 and lost 115 pounds.  It slipped, the port twisted, etc. and the weight came back to almost exactly what it was before surgery.  On May 18th I had revision to the RNY.  I'm 11 1/2 weeks out and have only lost 33 pounds.  I lost 15 the first month, 14 the second and this month has just been kicking my butt.  I've been eating the way I'm supposed to.  Getting in those proteins, water and vitamins.  The only area I am lack is exercise.  But I would assume that the simple cut in caloric intake would have helped me lose more than 4 pounds I have during the last few weeks.  

I've read on this message board that revisions lose more slowly.  Is this true or something I'm just trying to convince myself of since things aren't happening as quickly as I would like?  

What's it been like for you?  Thanks!

3 pounds a week doesn't seem slow to me!

I must have misspoken - 3 pounds in 3 weeks. 

You've lost 33 pounds in 11 weeks, right?  That's an average of 3 pounds per week.  Seems awesome :)

I think your loss is great! I think your body needs to catch up or rest, are you checking inches because sometimes the scale stops but losing inches doesn't.

I am one month out from band to sleeve revision and it is slow for me but greatful to be without my band. 

Revisions do lose slower than "virgin" weight loss surgery patients.

You are still going to be in a honeymoon stage for the next year.  Take full advantage of this period.  Track every bite with My Fitness Pal.  Weigh and measure everything you eat.  Think of this as your job.  Every good eating day is a victory.  Take full advantage of this period. 

You can lose all of the excess weight and learn to maintain the loss.  The key to all of this is counting calories.  That quick weight loss after surgery can mostly be attributed to the malabsorption.  Our malabsorption ends fairly quickly and it sounds like your effortless loss is about done.  Now you have to make the loss happen by eating less.

Why no exercise? If you want long term success you need to exercise! I had to replace both my knees in order to ride bike but before that I swam. Water walk , please trust me you NEED to exercise. The surgery alone is not a miracle.
