  • Weight loss after bariatric surgery is usually not one smooth process - there are bumps along the road! This segment talks about some of the common transitions during the first year after the Gastric Bypass or the Sleeve, what to expect and how best to manage them.

    Wish someone had told me about this beforehand. I have spent last 9 days wondering if my surgeon even removed my stomach and if I failed my surgery first time I ate. Hope my weight gets to moving soon. 😭

      LOL I thought the same thing. Did they just make incisions and left my stomach where it was??? After watching the video, I am re-assured that things are happening for a reason and my body doesn't care what my scale says. It's doing what it needs to do to heal.

      @christieorona I had a sleeve at Sage with Dr. Cavazos on Dec. 11, 2023. My BMI was 31 on the day of surgery. As for what others may think, I don’t worry about being judged. I know what my struggles with weight and health have been and I made the choice to get on top of my weight loss to improve my health. And it’s working! In my opinion, in makes sense to have WLS before the co-morbidities get out of hand-and the medical literature supports this theory. I wish you great success!

    I watched this yesterday when I hit my first day of "stall" (7 days after surgery). This morning, I weighed myself again...couldn't help it... and was still at the same weight. I came back to get re-assurance that the surgery is working. Thanks again for this VERY informative video. The lesson for me: STOP weighing myself daily. The surgery was a success and I need to let my body adjust the way it needs to adjust.

      I’m in the same spot you were a year ago now but I do notice that even tho the numbers on the scale aren’t moving much, I do seem to fit into some of my clothes differently so I count these times as “Non scale victories”. They happen a lot more than we realize because we’re so used to wanting that number on the scale to move and we don’t even realize theirs other ways to see a difference!!

      Hey there! I know it’s been a year but I’m exactly where you were right now. My starting weight, before 2 week the pre op liquid diet was 322. I got down to 312 the day of my surgery. I’m now at 288 . I haven’t lost any weight in the last week and thankfully this video gave me some hope. My question to you is.. the 91lbs you lost so far, are you counting the pre op weight you lost or just the weight since you had the surgery? Thanks and good luck on the rest of your journey!!

    Hello Dr. Pilcher you are such a Blessing. I just had my Gastric Bypass on 10/26/22 and it is at the 3 weeks stall. On the day of my surgery I was at 256 and my 2 week post-opt visit I weigh in at 236 right at 20 pounds loss. This week I haven’t loss anything. I’m just at a stall. I’m so glad that I came across this video because you have explained each stages that I should be ready for if it come to pass. I truly believe that I have a great Bariatric Team to work with. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you for being there for someone like me learning on how to take care my new stomach and to live a healthier lifestyle on my new journey.

    I’m having the mini bypass on October 1, which is not long now and I’m feeling excited and can’t wait. My husband and daughter aren’t happy about me getting it done as 5 years ago I had the sleeve done but my weight came back but now my knees and ankle are killing me due to injuries I’ve had over the years. I’m doing this surgery for me and hopefully my family will except this. Right now my ankle is giving me a lot of grief and I’m walking in a moon boot and I can’t do without it because of my injury. So once I have this surgery I’m hoping that with the weight loss my knees and my ankles won’t be suffering anymore. I’m struggling to exercise because of my injuries. I’m looking forward to it! These videos have helped me a lot and I want to thank you Dr❤

I kept thinking I’m gonna be one of those people that went through all the surgery, pain and crazy dieting only for it not to work. It’s very comforting to here a doctor say all of this. I loved this entire video from beginning to end. You explained so much that I was confused about. I thought I stalled at 3 weeks because I started eating puréed foods and my body was just holding onto the food for dear life. And I was confused as to why the scale says since post op I’ve lost weight but all my clothes still seem to fit the same. This explained everything! Truly thank you so much doctor!!!

Everything shared is on point -- including the fairy mother weight versus the "ideal weight". Thank you for making these videos.

    • @DoctorJP
      @DoctorJP  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Hello Chrissy, losing 13 pounds in 2-3 weeks could well be a good start if your pre-op weight was less than about 230 pounds (people who start lighter don't lose as many total pounds, but they tend to end up at a lower weight than people who start over 300 pounds). If you began in the upper 200's or higher, then I recommend for you please to talk with your bariatric team about this concern at your next visit.

    I had gastric bypass (RNY) conversion from VBG on July 28th (2022) so I’m at that stall point & have been for the past week. Frustrated is an understatement. I’ve been decreasing my calories & still taking in my vitamins & protein & water & fluids. Still not budging with my weight. Seriously this has helped me a lot. Although I have had others tell me in a bariatric support group I’m in on FB that it happens to most people I guess it didn’t really sink in that this is normal until I heard it explained. I now have some hope. Thanks so very much.

    Had my gastric sleeve surgery at the end of April 2023. Fast weight loss for 2+ months. For the past 3 weeks or so, weight loss has stalled. It was very disconcerting at first until I remembered that i've really increased my activity with weights and cardio. So, I'm building lean muscle mass, which weighs more than fat. I can also see in the mirror that I have less fat. I also increased my protein and water intake. Thanks for your information and encouragement!

I thought I was on pace to lose at least 20 lbs in the first month but now I don’t see that happening. The 13.5 lbs isn’t even noticeable to me aside from the scale and my shirts being slightly lose.

Bear in mind that I was already working out at least 20 minutes (cycling) a day or 2 hours at most (cycling, walking, dancing). And this man still said it wasn't enough and I needed to run.
