2Months Post Op And Gaining!

[SusieB29 10]

I couldn't eat at all first month and only lost 18 lbs. Got endoscope and can eat ...was losing 4 per week. Now my Graves disease kicked in so bad they uped my thyroid med. It made me gain weight pre op and they told me it was my over eating.....ok (I was logging food I knew it wasn't. I gained 20 lbs in 2 weeks) now back on same dose and its not even a full week and I'm up 4 lbs. I'm gaining a lb q day. I'm so lost.

Are you eating carbs? They seriously cause me to retain Water.< /p>

Was your eating stage changed to include solids and carbs? It's natural for the body to gain weight with that because prior to we were stuck on liquids that moved quickly through. If you're logging your intake and the cals, carbs and Protein is within the correct limits that's half the battle. Are you getting in all your Water? ARe you exercising?

All factors to help get the pounds off. I just hate it when after showing your log and that you're honestly not overeating that a doctors office says you're over eating. I've read that a few times on here and it makes me wonder what center would do that to their patient. We beat ourselves up enough.....if we're truthful and we're eating right then so be it. Sounds to me like there is another issue then and they need to figure it out for you.

100% honest; I am eating Carbs. Right or wrong I vomit so much toast became my go too for something. ( yesterday I vomited 4xs today already once just trying tunna with mayo to make it wet...1T and with in five min it hurts and there I go. I know...tuna for Breakfast yuck but I didn't want to cook) ill wait till dinner to try again. If I vomit, ill wait n eat toast this is my average day. I will try to put Protein on the toast if it feels ok. Can't say I need a new dilation as I'm gaining weight! Good lord that would be worse .

No, I'm not drinking enough. I'll check that one...that's easy task to handle.

Depressed and happy if I get dressed so no I am being lazy, laundry is a major hooraa right now.

I have a hyper thyroid. No, I did not make a mistake its hyper. My meds are to make it NOT hyper.....side effect weight gain. Now I think its likley water....so ill tackle that first. Tomorrow is my weigh in (my own ...Thursday is my day) we will see how it goes.

I lost my job after the op and complications. Sooo its just been a stressful month. Trying to pick a focus. Trying to get well quick. Fund for letting me vent

Sounds like your going through a lot. Stress can make you gain. Just pick up the pieces and keep pushing forward. I hope everything works out for you.

Well I upped my Water. I stopped my meds for 2 days and I'm down 6.5.....(in total that's .2 down from my gain of two weekish) .

I feel better emotionaly seeing "progress". I am going to push forward to move my ass and try to pick my spirits up.

I'm so glad to have a place to talk about the struggles.

Now I just wanna break 320. Small goal, but I thinly small is best.

Thank each of you for support.
