Help!!! I converted from Lapband to bypass 3wks ago and at my 2wk appt my doc ok'd me to have Wendy's chili and chicken and ground turkey etc as long as I chewed it well. I'm assuming she transitioned me because I had a previous surgery. However, preop included I lost 39lbs but since real food I'm back up 4lbs. I know about the 3 week stall but wouldn't I had lost more staying on liquids/ purée/soft food stage longer. I feel like my doc sabotaged me. Anyone else transitioned early per doc and gained?

What are you eating on the new diet? I don't think your doctor would want to sabotage you, so that's probably not the issue at all. Doctors all do things differently.

Are you getting protein first? Plenty of water? Could that time of the month be here or coming soon?

It's frustrating I'm sure, but as long as you're following a good diet with protein first, lower carbs, and getting all your water in, it will work.

It's my understanding that a revision patient doesn't lose as quickly too. Keep that in mind.

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, the three most important requirements are meeting your Protein, Fluid and Vitamin daily requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Weight loss is achieved by meal volume control. During the first 8 weeks following surgery, I was limited to 2 ounces of food per meal, 3 meals per day. That is a minuscule amount of food, only 1/4 cup per meal. This volume was slowly increased over the next 1 1/2 years to 1 cup per meal.

My program limited me to Full liquid stage for the first 4 weeks and the pureed stage for the next four. Then I transitioned to solids. So there is nothing in my opinion that would prevent you from slowing down your transition to pureed foods. The main reason for liquid and pureed food stage is to allow your staple lines time to heal in your stomach. So if you transition to solids too soon, that would be my concern (not weight gain because your meal volume is incredible small.)

Thanks guys!! I do get my Protein in first but I just started myfitnesspal to keep track of my protein. I gag over the Premier Protein now so I know I'm missing a lot of protein from not doing those so I will focus more on those 3 things!! Thanks so much!!!

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, taking your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise when cleared.
