Why Am I gaining instead of losing?



Recommended Posts

Today makes 10 days since my surgery. I was 225 day of surgery and 7 days out, I was down to 216. I weighed myself this morning and I'm at 219! What is really going on? I started purée food Friday but I have yet to eat more than 600 calories a day and that is way less food than I ever eaten in a day! I am in panic mode about this weight gain and wondering if this sleeve was a bad idea. Anybody else experience this?

Hi i also had that problem but it was due to my period. My nut told me its a natural way for your body to be able to actually have your period. After my period the 2 pounds disappeared.

this is totally normal after surgery. they pumped you full of fluids in the hospital. all of that Fluid will fall back off in the first week. just drink lots of Water so that your body doesn't retain it.

I would say relax...probably just Water weight that will drop fairly quickly, that happened to me mostly around my time of month. ;)
