2 weeks post op and gaining weight????



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone ! I am baffeled by my body LOL. I had my surgery on Nov 15th and had a 2 week pre op diet . I have lost about 16 pounds ....mostly from pre op. I have started purees and some mushy foods on Thanksgiving and since then I have not dropped one pound and today the scale said actually up a pound! I am eating all of my Protein and have been averaging in between 950-1050 calories. I should be losing in my head....what the heck is uo or am I doing something wrong!

Nothing is up, and you're not doing anything wrong. In all likelihood, you haven't gained weight. You are reintroducing normal food back into your body which could lead to a little bit of Water retention. Being up a pound on the scale is nothing, especially if you've been following your doctor's post-op rules.

Though it sucks to see the scale go up, know that you didn't gain a pound. Unless you splurged at Thanksgiving, I wouldn't worry. You'll see it go back down soon.

In the mean time, you won't lose as quickly as you did pre-op. Keep that in mind.

Keep your head up and stay off the scale for a few days.

I dont think so I have been trying to be real careful with low salt and low carb also:(

It happens. Could the purees your eating be salty? During that time I was allowed full liquids which included Tomato Soup, low fat cream of chicken and store bought Soup can be high in salt.

I'm not that far ahead of you. I had my surgery sept 28th. I had the same thing happen to me. When I started solids I had a huge appetite and was so worried I broke something.... well I just had my 2nd fill and everything is working fine. Just be patient.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
