Weight Gain :,(



Recommended Posts

I jumped on the scaled and saw that I've put on 2kg is this normal ? I don't understand how I could put on weight I was eating the same food I eat last week ?? Last week I lost 4kg and this week I've put on 2kg , I felt that I didn't lose weight ? I'm getting worried that I'm gonna start putting weight on again :(

It's Fluid retention, ttotm, hormones and other things affect Fluid retention, you'll find in a few days or so it will sort itself out, drink lots of Water to help flush it out of your system, happens to me often and there is no way I am eating that much in a day or two to put that much weight back on.

You only had your surgery on Sept 24th and your poor body has been thru hell and back. Post op you were in starvation mode and I would imaged that your metabolism came to a screaching halt as you were not feeding it well, as you graduate to new foods and start eating gain, you have to give yourself time to get use to it. You are still gassy and not where you need to be in terms of nutrition and exercise.

I lost 10lbs 1week post op, because I was probably eating 250 calories a day. The next week I gained 2lbs, I am almost 4 weeks post and eating more normal foods and exercising and think I am over the hump, am down 4lbs in the last 2 weeks. I am really trying not to get on the scale often.............about every 10 days, and in my heart I know I am eating right and exercising and everything else should take care of itself.

One day at a time my friend, it will all work out.

Alot of people gain during their 6 weeks healing..........stay away from the diet pills. Eat according to your dr's instructions, walk and exercise and things will fall into place. Stay away from Diet Pills.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
