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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
