Is It The Infamous 3 Week Stall Or Is It 3 Weeks Of Stalling?

What's old my dear. I'm 46. Have you added cadio and weight training to the mix? Maybe up the calories, up the Protein? Ask the nutritionist. That's what they are there for.

I will be 55 in May.... My Dr does not want me or any other patient to work out other than walking for 8-12 weeks. I just lost friend to a leak , who was 4 months post op from gastric bypass, who apparently caused the leak at the gym. Nonetheless, I will wait until I get the ok. I will be 6 weeks post op tomorrow. I am just disappointed and feel a little stressed about it. I'm sure it will come off eventually. I can't possible sustain this weight eating 600-800 calories a day...

So sorry about your friend! I didn't know it was possible. I thought leaks were either surgeon errors ot something done closer to surgery. My surgeon gave me a full release and told me I could go back to horseback riding after 2 weeks.

My friend apparently made a small tear at the point that the small intestine is reattached to the new pouch. It was a slow leak, but the pain she was haivng was disguised as a "pulled something". She was doing so well, had lost 75 lbs, was exercising every day, She had so much more self esteem,it's a totally different surgery than VSG. She also had an underlying liver problem found during her first surgery, after a 7.5 hour surgery to fix the leak, she was unable to fight the infection in combination with the liver issues. She passed on Jan 3rd and was only 44.

I am almost 4 weeks post op and I haven't lost anything since 8 August. The scale has fluctuated between 202 and 204 since 8 August. It is very frustrating and discouraging to say the least. I started at 216, so to only lose 12 pound the first month is certainly not what I expected......I am feeling very down with this....
