Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

I know how hard it is and my worst nightmare is to gain anymore weight.

I've taken up power walking and running to help with further weight loss. I really love it except for the pain I get on my knees and hip. For that I started doing Yoga and it seems to be helping.

I try to stay motivated by thinking about how I was before my sleeve. It works.

I did the pouch test for the first time and oh my Lord IT WORKS!!! It helped me kick the snacking to the curb even during tom. And proves sleevie still works just like it did 5 years ago when I first got him :). It's a mini miracle for us for sure!!! I'm back down to 169. And hope to be back to my personal goal by the end of the year.

hugs!!!!

Ok I just realized I'm 18.2 lbs over weight now versus being back at obese. Barely but still I will take it and run yay!

My personal goal is just to lose 4-10 more lbs and try to maintain that :). That would be awesome.

Best wishes to all.

I've gained all my weight back????

My lowest was 190 and I am now 265. I just started carb cycling today a coworker did it and she lost 60lbs. I tried doing the pouch test but wouldn't stick to it. I did the first two days and couldn't figure what to eat on the third day.

What is carb cycling?

I'd like to do the pouch test but I can't while I am trying to get my bone to graft.

Sleeve!!! So nice to see you again! I'm up a little too.....have done the pouch test twice and both time found it to be really good for a few pounds off and a fresh start. I focused on the thick hearty Soups and that helped a lot to stay on track. Lost 8 pounds both times. Now, to just stay on track afterwords!

I'm at my 2 year mark. I reached my goal and have maintained it for about a year. Going up and down a pound or so.

But over the past two months I've been gaining a half pound here and there and am now up 5 pounds. My head says DANGER DANGER you're on a slippery slope. But I'm having a hard time stopping the snacking. It's not bad stuff. Just too much yogurt or too much Cereal, etc. My willpower has disappeared.

Thanks for the 5 day pouch test idea. Back to basics. I want to nip this before the holidays get here otherwise the Cookies will kill me.

Good luck all. It's a constant struggle.

I am 2 1/2 years post op and I have gained 30 lbs in the last year. My mom has been sick, she's home with hospice and slowly dying. I struggle with anemia and get too short of breath with exercise. I will be starting Iron infusions soon. So yes, you CAN gain weight if you don't exercise and eat right. Although I have stayed away from bread and Pasta, I do not focus on fluids and Protein, AND I stress eat on junk food like chips at night.

      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.
