Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[jessbowling 0]

I had a stroke at 37 due to car wreck. When they took me off my adderal I went up 13 lbs. but I was in hospital and couldn't move. Where do I go from here?? Diet I mean??

Jessbowling...first off i am SO sorry for your predicament. Are you recovered from the stroke now? Secon, after a blow like that, why the ONLY way to go is "onward and upward". You are young and there are technologies and medical advances to help with your future. Assemble a support team, lean on them with all your might, and go for it! With your attitude, weight is a piffle problem. You got bigger fish to fry!

I went up 10 pounds I had my sleeve 2 days ago

@@losinglily - that is not a weight gain. You "gained" from the IV Fluid they gave you at the time of surgery. You'll pee that out in no time. If it bothers you, stay off the scale for a few days

So I had my VSG on September 27, 2010 and lost 61 lbs out of the 100 that I needed to lose. Over a couple of years I gained back almost 30 lbs! I have tried everything to get back on track and most recently got involved with It Works (this is NOT a sales pitch, just my story) and am using a couple of their products and have lost 11 lbs in less than two weeks so I am excited about getting back on track. Really want to get the rest of this weight off. But I have to say, I have absolutely NO regrets and still say that the VSG is the best thing I had ever done! Under normal circumstances I would have gained back the entire 61 lbs and another 50 on top of that!

P.S. And clearly I have to figure out how to go back and edit my profile because my current weight is 210 not 189 (I wish). But I will get there and further :-)

It's not from eating unless you are seriously not following the program.

Most likely your weight gain is from swelling/fluids from the hospital.

I'm so excited I come across this because I was worried that it was only me. I literally will fluctuate between 1-2 pounds. I'll loose about 8-10 pounds then gain 2 pounds out of no where. Of course it comes right off but jeeeeeeeezzzz!!!

Hi all, I'm 9 months out and lost 70lbs. with more to lose, but I have to say I'm always plateauing, I use "MyFitnessPal" to track my food, calories, fats ect. but it's not falling off like others. Any one experience this?

[Roma22 1]

Also Cindy, you have all the fluids from surgery. That will go away.

Yes, please share the 8 hour plan????

Hello. Its been quite awhile since I post. I had my surgery March 2015. I'm done 50 plus pounds. I am happy with that, however, I have been at a stall for several months. I am at 186, but I've been at this same weight with fluctuation of 1-3 pounds. I can't seem to get below 184. I have been eating sweets more than I should, but I don't eat a lot. I also took up running. I run at least 3-4 days a week - 4-6 miles on each day.

I am beginning to think I've reached my maximum weight loss. Any suggestions to getting back on track? I still want to lose at least 25 more pounds to get to my goal weight.

Frustrated with this stall.

7 pounds 10 months ago I was sleeved! I still have 3 more pounds to lose to get to my lowest.

Ty.. I guess it so hard to see the whole picture at times:)

I just got out of the hostipal and they said my Pancreas is off the charts. I feel really bad do you think this from the sleeve surgery. Also my face turns really red and eyes feel dry.

Thanks

@@Brian, these are not symptoms related to sleeve surgery that I have ever read about. Please get seen by a doctor.
