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.

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.

      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.
