Good afternoon! I hope you're doing much better after your surgery a few months ago! Are things going back to any thing resembling normal after the Covid issue there?
I see you've gone down over 60 pounds and that's great! That's spectacular! Feeling better in many ways I would imagine! Continued luck on your journey ! Take care! ð?'
Hopefully you are more comfortable now. It can take a few days after any abdominal surgery to have a bowel movement, but you don't want it to take too long. Taking painkillers for many days can really cause problems there.
The weight loss per month and time to goal depends on many factors: At minimum your starting weight, how low the goal is, and how well one adheres to plan. I started at almost 220 and weigh 120 now. I lost 31 pounds in the 4 months prior to surgery and most of the remainder in the 6 month period following that, though I didn't reach 120 until 8 months after surgery. I stayed on plan pretty religiously. Monthly loss:
- pre-surgery: 31
- Month 1: 20
- month 2: 12
- month 3: 11
- month 4: 7
- month 5: 7
- month 6: 5
- month 7: 4
- Month 8: 3
Being active on OH is one of the most important things that helped me lose originally, lose regain from last year and for continued maintenance. Good luck!

Hi. I am just getting back on track after a loooooonnnnng slump. I really want this now. I had a hysterectomy last year and had a revision of my VSG last year and the weight is not coming off. I dont know what to do. I also take psychotropic meds. I guess I have a lot stacked against me.
Please help I need some advice in what I can do. Thank you.
many of us can't lose unless we are eating 600-800 calories a day. What does a days menu look like for you? Are you tracking and measuring everything you eat?
we have not seen very good results on the site from those who have had sleeve revisions. We see them posting a 20 pound or less loss after revising.
it is possible to lose after but one really has to be on program.
No matter what is stacked against you, you will not gain one pound from anything except too many calories. You need to get on an eating plan and stick to it. My personal plan is Weigh****chers, which I love because I can eat any foods as long as I track my points.
The weight will come off when you eat less than you burn.

I wasn't given any bc my doctor said you can't swallow any pills in your new stomach until it heals. I'm asking about some today. I'm on my last day of lovinox blood thinner shots in my stomach today. i had to do those for 2 weeks. ???? Can you tell me about you weight loss journey and how much weight you lost per week and how long it took you to hit your goal:):) thanks barb
About three days but I was sent home on still softeners.

No I didn't have a leak I was wondering how rare it is to have one. How long after your procedure did it take to have a bowl movement? I'm calling doctor tomorrow to ask if I can take something to help.
Very rare. Did your surgeon say what caused the leak?

I feel so much better now thank you. It will a week wed. Hopefully I won't get any leaks. I was told it's rare?
