Thank you for putting my mind at rest!

I had my RnY gastric bypass (revision from gastric band) on 20th October. I did a one month pre-op liquid diet during which I lost about 30 pounds and was 340 pounds on the day of surgery. Since then I’ve bounced around the 340 mark (341 today), with no significant weight loss. I’ve heard that the fluids from surgery can prevent weight loss immediately after surgery but I wasn’t expecting to stall for this long. I’m getting around 500 calories a day from a combination of protein shakes and soup. I have been coming close to my protein target, but my fluids are less good. Has anyone else experienced such a long stall so soon after surgery? Should I be concerned?

Hope you don't mind me asking Georgina but which hospital were you with? Having band to bypass revision at the homerton in a month .

Finally got my surgery date after 3 years of waiting. Had a band 10 years ago and lost a lot but then after complications gained all the weight back. Getting done on 14th October in the U.K. and can't WAIT! Have to do 3 weeks of slim fast all day and no solids but I know I can do it.
