One month post op- weight goes up and own

[steele160 9]

On Tuesday I saw my doc for my 1 month follow up and went to all foods except raw veggies and soft beads and I can only do super moist meats- I have focused on Proteins - I gained weight . I am walking every day and no one has given meany work out instruction. So b- I am super discouraged :/ ugh!

A small gain a month out isn't unusual. You body is adjusting to the decrease in food (nutrients) and is holding on to all the fat that it can. Try tracking what you eat (myfitnesspal or something like it). Make sure you are getting your Water and your Vitamins. As far as workouts go, you should be getting at least 30 minutes of cardio, that will raise your heart rate to a level that will burn fat. There are websites that can help you determine what level that is. You might want to get a pedometer and track your steps. Shoot for 10,000 steps a day but 5,000 to 7,000 is a decent start. Keep the Protein coming and the carbs down low. Just because you have been cleared for all foods, doesn't mean that you should eat them. Even though you are restricted in the amount of food you can eat, you can still overdo on the carbs and sugars. I'm finding that my post-op diet is way more different than any other diet that I've been on, and is certainly different than it was before I was sleeved. I was a very slow loser pre-sleeve and nothing has changed about that post sleeve. Keep working at it, you'll see results

U mosz definitely should get a workout regimen. The sleeve and exercise go hand in hand

Yes, I do work out- not as faithfully since going back to work because I got sick and have been exhausted -
