Gaining Weight - HELP!!!



Recommended Posts

My sleeve surgery was in March of 2007 - and I have gained back 15 pounds and I am scared to death. I can't even remember what I am supposed to be eating - help - somebody tell me what I ate post op. All I can remember is popsicles. I guess I lost a few brain cells when i lost the pounds. I know that I need to increase my Water intake - but what Protein should I be eating... I promise to get on the scale more often as well.

ANY and all advice will be appreciated!!! LOTS!!!

main thing is Protein first, stay away from the white carbs, drink lots of fluids and i'm sure it will all come back to you and you'll do fine, good luck jeani

tough love - how can you have forgotten your dietary needs? I didn't think that was physically possible.

Are you in OA? Have you sought therapy for underlying issues?

I'll guess that you aren't tracking your food then. It really keeps you honest, fitday - dailyplate - fatsecret are all online food trackers.

I've heard of some folks here doing a "sleeve cleanse", sort of like resetting the clock, where they go back to a liquid/protein shake diet for a week.

      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.

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