Distal gastric bypass revision

I had surgery 2 weeks ago and am not losing I lost 4 pounds and have stayed the same for a week is this normal?!?!

I would think yes. Revisions don't usually result in lightening fast results. But additionally, you also are dealing with the inflammation from the surgery, plus the fluids you received via IV. So it will take time. Additionally, some people don't really start losing until they are able to eat normal food rather than Protein Drinks. Some people find Protein drinks actually slow their losses. I was one of those people, so I do have a bias. Protein drinks were very insulinogenic for me.

Congrats on your surgery!

Stay the course, and follow your doc's and RDs plan to the letter! And do the head work! Also, come join us for our weekly support meetings (live online in a private meeting room)! PM me for the deets! Our next meeting is tomorrow night. And the following is on Sunday. New topics start on Sundays. This week's topic is how anxiety affects weight loss and how ways to still the anxiety.

PM me. It's not replacing our forum here. It's just for additional help and motivation/support. We deal a lot with doing the headwork. The things that affect how and why and what we eat.
