    Stalls happen & they will break in their time. Think of them as your body being stressed (it’s going through a lot of change at the moment - surgery, weight loss, change of diet, etc.) & it just wants to shut the door & pull the covers over it’s head until it’s ready to deal with the changes & stress. You just need to ride it out. Don’t stress yourself or your body more. Follow your plan, meet your Protein & fluid goals & your weight will start to drop again.

    That is a lot when you can eat normally, so imagine what your system was thinking on a soft minimal diet!!!
    I'm sure you will start seeing a change soon.

    LOL, my body was in shock for sure! Those parks are brutal and it was 5 days of non stop. My body probably hates me right now lol. Hopefully it'll settle down soon

    It's normal. Your body is adjusting, we all have gone through the stalls.
    Your body was probably in shock from the low calories and then walking Disney too.

    weight loss after revisions is almost always slower than after virgin surgeries, so it could be partly that - or it could be just Fluid (due to a heavier-than-usual sodium intake, maybe?). Also, it could be if you've exercised more than usual, your muscles are holding on to Water (they need it for repair, if you're going at it more than usual, or have done something they're not accustomed to). Or have you been eating more carbs than usual? Those make you hold on to more water as well. At any rate, if you've been on plan as far as eating, you should be fine - it's likely just some temporary thing and you should start losing again..

    Hi DoOverGirl,
    I am also a newbie to the website, however not as far as surgery. I originally had the lapband in 2005 and after complications, in 2010 went to bypass. My highest weight was 290 and my lowest was 130, I am 5'7". I had only lost 82lbs with the lapband and was very happy with the weight loss after having the bypass. Currently, I am 168lbs and have severe reflux and my taste is so off that I find it difficult to eat just about anything. I am currently in the process of going through the steps for a revision surgery also. My doctor did say that I could lose some weight, I should not expect it to be like it was. Although I don't want to get back to 130lbs, I would be happy to get down to 145-150 as I think I would be comfortable there.
    Back to your complaint and issues. I am wondering if you are not taking in enough Protein in order to lose more weight. I have noticed that when I think I am doing well with my eating, I really am not getting enough protein. When I pay attention to my protein intake and leave out the carbs, I start to lose weight again. I know how frustrating this must be for you and I am also concerned that after I have a revision, I will not lose any weight either. However, I am trying to focus on alleviating my symptoms of discomfort more than the possibility to lose weight.
    I understand your frustration but be patient with yourself, stay positive, and keep pushing forward. You can do it!
