Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery 6 months ago, lost 59 lbs I gain between 1 to 4 lbs then lose those again. I just can't get to the 60 lbs mark. My husband had his surgery three weeks after me and he has lost 114 lbs with no gains at all.

Things slow down around 6 months, but if you keep on plan, you will keep losing bit by bit. You have done great!

Brazcan,

Are u eating more because of hunger? How far out are you? Did you ever make goal? I'm 74# after 5 months and worried how/what I will eat after the first year. No liquids with cals yet and no fruit yet, either.

I just saw this....you're kidding, right??!! Where's the Protein you need? 60 - 65 grams??!! A Protein shake......alcohol (carbonated) Desserts.....I am speechless!! :)

I'm 14 months out and maintaining my weight. Today, I had:

1 thick slice of banana chocolate chip bread

1 grande Starbucks coffee with half-and-half and splenda

1 Protein Shake

Cappuccino and 2 cornmeal pancakes with shredded pork (about 3 inches in diameter each)

about 3/4 cup mac'n'cheese

half an order of banana cream pie (about 3/4 cup)

1 bottle beer

coconut rice (~1/2 cup) and mixed vegetable/mushroom stir-fry in oyster 'shroom sauce (~3/4 cup)

1 glass of mixed veggie/fruit juice

I don't know if I'm gonna eat anything else today as it's getting late, but if I do, I'll have an apple

OK so I thought I would give an update. I am 21 months out. Today I'm 146.9. My lowest has been 144.7. So I'm up 2.2 lbs and still within the 1-5 fluctuation. I do workout 5-6 days a week, and recently sleevie still has a very good restriction, some days way more than I would like lol (accept for junk food, I still DON'T GET THAT).

I think I'm totally in the beginning stages of perimenopause, and going through some serious body changes :(...I'm a little freaked about this, but there's really nothing I can do :( ...needless to say having tom 2x a month for the last 2 months is horrible. The other day I looked and felt preggers :(...ANYHOO, I will keep keeping on, and fight the good fight :)

I am still relatively new since surgery but swim laps with my son. He is 5 but can swim like a champ but plays as we swim. I have started to put muscle back on my chest and arms and am up 3 pounds but I think it is muscle, since I think part of my early loss was muscle from not working out.

My weight fluctuates by 1-2 pounds over the course of each week and it drives me crazy. I've only lost 12 pounds over the last 3 months and am only halfway to my goal after almost 7 months. Sleeves are supposed to get us 70% of the way to our goal by the end of the first year, true; but so many posters here seem to exceed that that I feel really frustrated.

I'm working out, have the occasional soda when I'm out (once every 2-3 weeks and I only drink 1/3 of the glass - it keeps me from craving it), eating lots of lean Protein and having as many vegetables and fruits as possible. I haven't gained a pound or two without dropping them and more, but it's a very slow pace. I can only hope that slow and steady will win this race.

uhm that made me double think, thanks for opening my eyes

last year i used to drink orange fresh daily and I was wondering why I get fatter every day. Seems that the answer was very simple.

I will cut the fruits too and see what happens. Does any of you mantain their weight without doing sport often?

Any idea why the carrots are forbidden? Not that I am a huge fan but I want to know...

Thanks

      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.
