Weight Gain.



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 6/11/12, I immediately started seeing results and lost 13 in the first 3 weeks, but over the course of the last week I have very slowly started to gain some lbs back, its only 3 or 4, but I am now paranoid that I am doing something wrong. Is it normal to go up and down like this?

I have never gained since my surgery. It will.be a year on July 11th. I was very strict I wanted to get the weight off. I filled in with crystal light I lost 75 in 7 months. I'm increasing activity because I need to loose 30 more. Good luck

if you are going through the various food stages: from liquids to pureed to mushies to soft..you can expect to gain a little..if you have been on liquids before your surgery and after your body is kinda in shock. so as soon as you introduce something other than liquids your body is gonna be confused. dont be alarmed perfectly normal.

Main thing is don't get discouraged. You've done the hard part and it's not like flipping a light swtch to change a life style. Just follow the Dr's instructions and you will soon be teling us how great you are doing. Hugs and best wishes.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
