Had RNY on 8/8/2012- revision from Gastric sleeve in 12/2008-
LOST 5.8 POUNDS POST-OPT
I don't think it's the sodium. How much do you exercise? It's possible you need to eat more.
I also noticed the Tillamoo**** cream. It's magnificent, no doubt, but I encourage you to cut it out. It's easy to let the serving sizes creep up. And Tillamoo**** cream is high octane sugar and fat. I would also bump up the protein. Day one is good but day two falls off a bit.
Also, you're a revision, and revisions typically lose a bit more slowly.

Sodium doesn't slow down weight loss. It can only cause you to retain fluids. I don't pay much attention to my sodium intake, so I cannot comment on what is "too much". Unless you have medical issues that require low sodium, I wouldn't worry about it.
The lack of calories might be a problem. The first two days are ok, but the less than 500 calories on the third day is too low.
Chances are, if you are like most people who post about their "slow" weight loss, it is not actually slow at all... They just she unrealistic expectations of how fast it will come off. Remember that, in general (without accounting for individual metabolism), you have to have a 3500 calorie deficit to lose a single pound, and it takes about 10 calories per pound for just basic activity and body functioning, so if you weigh 200 pounds, your body needs 2000 calories per day, and if you are eating 800, you had a daily calorie deficit of 1200 calories, so it takes roughly 3 days to lose a pound (assuming no exercise). If you weigh 300 pounds, your caloric deficit is 2200 calories, so it only takes a day and a half to lose a pound. As you get smaller, the calorie deficit is smaller so it takes longer to lose a pound. Weight loss is not that linear, however. Everyone experiences stalls or times when they lose more quickly or less quickly that other times.
