Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

I haven't gained yet. I have had stalls though. My longest stall was 6 weeks. I am 5.5 months out.

It's very difficult to keep it off.

Now that I've had back surgery, I am not supposed to diet. I am trying to get my bone to graft. I can't exercise either. I am freaked out, officially.

Oregon daisy, how was the back surgery? You survived it! Not a time to be down about weight and diet. Should be celebrating this milestone. And, you know what? You were abke to do it before. You got a head start now

We know nuthin is ever going to be handed to us and it sure isnt gonna get easy just cuz....but one thing we hold onto: we did it before...we know it is within us to do it...just focus on your rehab and tackle amy other probs after. You are a formidable fighter...dont forget that.

Ps: nobody told me not to diet after my hernua surgery but i didnt heal until i added some complex carbs. ...u got the right advice.

The standard advice is to start varying up the diet more and to slash calories, but that's kind of hard since we have slashed virtually every calorie we can already by dint of the procedure. But as our tolerance for exercise increases, we can start varying that up more too so that the body can't learn to become efficient with any particular form of exercise. It's a great way to restart weight loss, surgery or otherwise, in my experience.

Well I'm 2.5weeks out and my weight loss has come to a complete stop, I'm even wondering if they really did the sleeve? How is it possible to have majority of your stomach removed, being on liquids and liquids is zero Powerade, a low cal ice coffee no cream or ice cream and still not loose weight! Good thing I'm seeing the nutritionist tomorrow, not very happy at all:(((

The last couple days I haven't lost bit stayed up 2 lbs but I'm also breaking out so I'm really hoping it's TOM. Reading here that is normal makes me feel better.

I'm a 50 year old male and was sleeved 3 years ago this December. I had lost down to 140 and gained 20 pounds. At 160 now and would like to lose about 10 to be at about 150. But it's a real struggle now, definitely not as easy anymore.

Jorge, congratulations on your weight loss and keeping most of it off for 3 years! That 20 pound bounce is harder and harder to get off for me too... I keep trying though... really don't want to gain more!

      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. 🤞
