Sleeve to Bypass Revision & Stalls



Recommended Posts

Had a revision from sleeve to bypass 11/9. Had bleeding complications so was in only liquids for first 14 days. Once I went to soft foods, I completely stalled! Have lost nothing for 6 days!!! Is this normal? I didn't stall until 7 months out with my sleeve and lost 5-6 lbs at a time. Now it's like 1-2 at a time. Down 19 lbs, but hoping this isn't it?! Thanks for any of your replies who have been in my same position. How long did it last if you stalled & what did you do to help get losing again? THANKS!

6 days are nothing. It's not a stall.

Your body is now filling up the digestive system again. You also might be retaining some fluids.

You also already lost quite a bit of weight which means you need less energy now to sustain your body mass so your weight loss is slower with the same intake.

Just follow the diet and maintain fluids and Protein. The weight loss will resume

I decided to weigh cuz I haven't in a week. Gained 2 pounds!!! I am eating nothing but very small soft meals (cottage cheese, scrambled egg, yogurt, chicken & egg salad), Protein Shakes, Water & hot tea!!! This process is so different from when I had the sleeve. I thought for sure converting to full bypass would make things move fast!Im hearing you all, really....this isn't a stall so soon? And why did I gain? I'm just so frustrated. Thanks for letting me vent here everyone!!!

Make sure you are eating enough! There is an app on this site called MyFitnessPal and it helps you keep track of all your food and Water. It has helped a lot of people. If you are not eating enough or the wrong foods, you see it!

Thanks! I do use MyFitnessPal. I'm not necessarily counting calories right now. I'm 19 days postop & on 1-2oz soft food as tolerated with Protein Shakes & fluids right now. My concern was I have lost nothing since 11/21, but gained 2 lbs. When I had the sleeve, weight just melted off no matter what for the first 7 months. Just seems weird I'm not losing more?! see my doc on Thursday, so I guess nutritionist can give better idea why? Thanks for your reply!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
