Sleeve to Bypass Revision & Stalls

[Kimberlee1383837812 4]

Had a revision from sleeve to bypass 11/9. Had bleeding complications so was in only liquids for first 14 days. Once I went to soft foods, I completely stalled! Have lost nothing for 6 days!!! Is this normal? I didn't stall until 7 months out with my sleeve and lost 5-6 lbs at a time. Now it's like 1-2 at a time. Down 19 lbs, but hoping this isn't it?! Thanks for any of your replies who have been in my same position. How long did it last if you stalled & what did you do to help get losing again? THANKS!

6 days are nothing. It's not a stall.

Your body is now filling up the digestive system again. You also might be retaining some fluids.

You also already lost quite a bit of weight which means you need less energy now to sustain your body mass so your weight loss is slower with the same intake.

Just follow the diet and maintain fluids and Protein. The weight loss will resume

I decided to weigh cuz I haven't in a week. Gained 2 pounds!!! I am eating nothing but very small soft meals (cottage cheese, scrambled egg, yogurt, chicken & egg salad), Protein Shakes, Water & hot tea!!! This process is so different from when I had the sleeve. I thought for sure converting to full bypass would make things move fast!Im hearing you all, really....this isn't a stall so soon? And why did I gain? I'm just so frustrated. Thanks for letting me vent here everyone!!!

Make sure you are eating enough! There is an app on this site called MyFitnessPal and it helps you keep track of all your food and Water. It has helped a lot of people. If you are not eating enough or the wrong foods, you see it!

Thanks! I do use MyFitnessPal. I'm not necessarily counting calories right now. I'm 19 days postop & on 1-2oz soft food as tolerated with Protein Shakes & fluids right now. My concern was I have lost nothing since 11/21, but gained 2 lbs. When I had the sleeve, weight just melted off no matter what for the first 7 months. Just seems weird I'm not losing more?! see my doc on Thursday, so I guess nutritionist can give better idea why? Thanks for your reply!!!
