Weight loss- Bypass to sleeve

[pattyoj 13]

Hi- I had a bypass in 2016 and just had a sleeve December 7th. I am 22 days post op and my scale hasn’t moved since day 14.
Is this normal?

Pre op weight - 253
Surgery weight - 237
Current - 220

Remember stalls are very common & you can experience a few of them while you are losing. Many experience the first one around week 3 +/-. They can last 1-3 weeks. Stick to your plan & the scale will start moving again. In the meantime, take some body measurements. Sometimes you notice changes with a tape measure even though the scales don’t move.

Did you experience many stalls after your bypass?

I didn’t experience a lot at the beginning with the bypass. I was expecting them at around 3 months with this revision. I just did measurements today because I feel so discouraged. 😭
I know we shouldn’t go by the scale but I am just 3 weeks out and it hasn’t moved since week 2 😩

So you started at 253 and you are now 220? Seems like a difference of 33lbs. 33lbs is more than 2 stone. What is not to like about that loss. Weight loss is slower second time around. Stay off the scales for a little bit. Do something different. Take up a new hobby and distract yourself.

almost everyone has a stall around the 3rd week post op.

Did you get a DS or just a sleeve? This is the first I've heard of revision from bypass to sleeve (since the bypass is a more powerful surgery, I'm not sure why they'd do this... unless your sleeved stomach is part of a DS? (duodenal switch - which is a sleeved stomach with a partially bypassed small intestine - this particular surgery is even more powerful than the RNY bypass)

I think they put everything back to where it was and did the sleeve.

I am glad to hear stalls are common around week 3 🙃
