If you have time please watch my video so you see how bad it affected me. The pictures at the beggining a few day ago they just happened to match my feelings today. =( -
eleven day post op with weight gain
ampsgirl posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey all, Well I am eleven days post op and I was down 12lbs. Today I weighed myself and I am up one pound. Ugh!!! Is this normal? Have I reached my "plateau"? I am still on liquids, I have slowly introduced tomato Soup, and cream of asparagus soup. Do I go back to Clear Liquids? Or stay on the full liquids and just keep trudging through this? Any advice out there for frustrated me? -
Did anyone gain weight the first day of surgery from the IV water weight I suppose??
-
So I was sleeved yesterday afternoon. I weighed in at the hospital yesterday morning at 241#. I got released home today & stepped on my scale.. 256#?!?!?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!? The doc said I would have some extra weight from all the IV fluids & gas pumped in to me.. But 15#??? Did anyone else gain this much immediately after surgery? If so, how long did it take you to lose it?

luckysmomma posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
....I knew it couldn't & wouldn't last...but I gained 1 lb tonight at Weight Watchers. Wednesday makes me 8 weeks out...I lost weight 7 consecutive weeks. I did nothing differently this week, but I gained... I hate Mr. Scale & always will! He's an @$$hole! lol Frustrated...2 month follow-up this week with the dr & nut...I am sure their scale will have a different tale...ugggh -
I'm very upset right now. I don't know how it happened but I've gained nearly 7 lbs in last week. As of today I am 16 days post op, I lost 15 lbs at my post op doctors visit a week ago and now I've gained. I'm on the same diet as before, I just switched up my protein drinks a bit. I'm worried because I'm drinking a ton but I don't feel like I'm going to the bathroom as often as I should. I think I may just be retaining water or something. I hope that's it. I even started going to the gym this week, but i still gained. I just feel its too early to be having these issues, I feel like I did all this for nothing. I hope the doctor will have an answer for me when I see him today.

I'm 6 weeks post op and have lost 30 pounds. However, today I gained back 3!! The doctor says it's dehydration and my GP said my kidneys aren't functioning at full capacity and to increase my Water intake. Should I be worried? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

WEIGHT GAIN? 6 MONTH NUT VISITS.
pleezeSleeve posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has anyone gained weight during nutrition visits? I think I effed up. I gained 10lbs between my consult with the surgeon and second nutrition visit. I explained to her the very devastating loss of a family member... and also how I wanted to kinda .. "eat my last junk foods". since then, I have lost 6lbs. I plan on being down even more when we meet again in 2 weeks. Basically I'm terrified the insurance will deny me because of the 10lb gain- even though I lost it back and more. Has anyone been through this or heard of this? What happened? thanks! -
Will the dietitian clear and approve to move forward if I have gained weight? details below... pardon the lack of punctuation, I am on my phone I have my final visit with the dietitian this week. I was doing so well until the mental health professionals threw a wretch and sent me way off track (long story short, I was a victim of childhood abuse and sexual abuse while in college... it pretty much was a how can someone go threw this and hold their life together and said I couldn’t do the surgery because I “needed” there help because well how Can I live when something like that happened) I stood up for myself and yes, the things I have been threw was terrible but I am a stronger being because of it. After the assault, I gained a lot of weight, by a lot I mean like 70lbs in a few short months... then continually climbed due to the depression that had set in. Wanting to have the surgery in the first place is to take back that part of my life. In doing so, I went off track and back to depression. My view was that since I was abused, that is the only thing I will ever be so why bother mentality... anyone had a similar situation?

Has anyone experienced weight gain after Starting Mushies?

I was sleeved on September 10 pre op I was 293 and post op I was 273. Last week I I was 264 and my current weight is 270. Is it normal to gain weight back even when sticking to the diet? I'm feeling really discourage right now and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

I weighed on my one week post opt day and had gained 4 pounds. I have had nothing but liquids, I believe it may have been because I had not had a bowl movent after surgery, I have now, will weigh at surgens on Friday. I am expecting some loss.

Hey y'all, I had my sleeve on the 5th of this month and everything was great. I lost 15lbs in the first week but now I've stepped on the scale and it says I'm up five pounds. I've been drinking the Protein shakes and having a few sips of Soup. I haven't tried to sneak any Cookies or cakes or anything but this is super disheartening. Is this a normal thing where it takes your body a little bit to get used to the fact that you only have a small portion of your stomach? My step-mom said it happened to her but it's still disappointing. My expectation are all out of whack because even if I did gain and my scale isn't wrong 10lbs is still great. Let me know if you've had a similar experience.

Ugh!!! Weight Gain After 3 Years Banded!!
talkalot1981 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was banded July 2009. I statred out at 252 lbs and lost over 100 lbs. I got down to 147 lbs.. I was on top of the world. Until my band had slipped. I had gotten some fluid taken out to help it fall back into place. I was able to eat more comfortably. Then I had decided to get even healthier by quitting smoking. I quit in January of this year and have put back on 30 lbs. I'm so afraid this is just the start of a downfall.. so of course with the weight gain my self loathing is back and the depression is starting to set in again.... HELP, What do I do????? -

Refresher............ I was banded on the 22nd,..(not that long ago I realize) I dont weigh often at all...in fact 2 times total since surgery with today being my 2nd time..... but decided I was feeling good about myself and decided to weigh at home to see how it was going...I GAINED 3 lbs...yes gained. Now...I track my food on "lose it" am staying around 900-1000 calories a day and no cheating what so ever. HOW IN THE WORLD is it possible to gain weight on a restricted amt of food...I want to cry! I feel like a MORON....gaining weight after having weight loss surgery..... I mean what is the point. I can gain weight easily on my own with out having had surgery???!! I guess it is so frustrating as I am following exact what I am to do, eating the proper amts and nothing more. HOw is it possible to eat 1/4 of what I used to eat, cutting out all sweets and pop etc only to gain weight. BUMMED BIG TIME

What the heck? I had gastric bypass on jan 8th and have lost 10 pounds already. When I got on the scale this morning I'd gained 2 pounds. Nothing I ate yesterday stayed in my system, I tossed my cookies each time I ate. How do you gain when you're tossing you're cookies! I don't get it.

Has anyone gained weight when they first started eating regular foods ? And if so I would like to hear what happened......HELP!!!! Is this normal ?
-
Hello! I have never joined a forum before, have been searching for one & so glad I came across BariatricPal. I am looking for some advice, suggestions, support, etc. I had gastric bypass surgery on July 25th 2012 & have lost a total of 114 pounds, 8 pant sizes, 1 shoe size & any/all health issues!! Life is pretty great, but I am starting to get nervous about gaining some weight back. I'm one of those people that reads all those worst-case scenerios & starts to panic - I do not want to be a statistic. I want to succeed, not go backwards. I have read that gaining some weight is normal but am interested in some ideas as to what is normal. The lowest I got was 156, my surgeon didn't think it was a good idea for me to be less than 165 so I was thrilled as the scale continued to drop & my waist line continued to shrink! I am religious when it comes to the scale; I weigh myself every morning before I get in the shower & sadly, depending on what figure stares back at me, determines my mood for that day. The past few months I have seen a weight gain of 1 pound here, 2 there, 3 lost, 1 gained & so on. This morning I stepped on the scale & it said 166...I was horrified. I called & spoke to a nurse & she said that was a normal amount of weight to gain, considering I ended up lower than my anticipated weight loss. That doesn't make me feel any better...wish it did. Just seeing that I'm 1 pound over than my original goal scares the crap out me. Instead of crying, I finished getting ready for work & hauled out the old food journal, Protein powder & determination. Also, my husband & I are trying for our third (and final) baby...I thought I was mentally preparing myself for the expected weight gain w/pregnancy but considering how upset I was this morning I'm not even close to being mentally prepared. I guess I'm still considered a newbie; not 2 years out yet so I welcome any suggestions, similar stories, etc. Thanks!!!

VSGandMe2011 (DisneyMomma) posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok....I've heard about the dreaded 3 week stall, but I'm 5 weeks out today and I GAINED 1.8lbs!! What in the world?? I'm sticking to a low-carb (30g or less), high protein (90g) diet; I started working out last week; I'm getting in all my water.......I have no idea what's going on. I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing, because, up until now, it's been working! Any suggestions? Thanks, Bewildered and Confused in Texas -
For the Ladies - TOM weight gain?
Nancy Rivers posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
A question for the ladies who have had the sleeve. Do you experience weight gain with your TOM? If so, when does it usually happen - the week of, the week before or 2 weeks before? I'm just trying to figure out why I gained 4 pounds a week ago and have stayed at that level. At the support group meeting last night, the PA suggested it could be because of TOM. I'm inclined to think that is what caused it because I haven't really changed any of my other eating habits. However, having my surgery a month ago and it screwing with my TOM, I really don't know when I should be having it again so am a bit confused with this weight gain. I should have started my TOM last month on the day of my surgery, but it started a week later. So now I am thinking that I will start sometime next week (at least that is what I am hoping considering my normal migraines that come just before TOM started yesterday).
