How does one deal with SLD & weight gain until Dr.'s appt. in August?

I have a friend who had open RNY in Dec. and had MAJOR complications; one of which is a couple "torn" staples, which the surgeon knew about, but didn't want to do another surgery so soon. My friend has lost 65lbs so far; and has only lost 2.5lbs the last few weeks, and actually gained a pound last week. He thinks a few more staples might have "popped" and is getting very discouraged. He doesn't have another Dr.'s appt. until August, and his surgeon said he really doesn't know what to tell him in regards to his diet and what he should be doing while he still has the SLD. Any suggestions I can pass on to help get on the "losing" track again? (I have found a few articles, but nothing like hearing from folks that have been there...)
