2 weeks post op....... weight gain?



Recommended Posts

Well I am 2 weeks post op and gained 1.4 lbs!!!!! How is that possible? Things have been going great but when I stepped on the scale this morning I had gained weight. Of course I was disappointed and now all I wanna do is figure out what I was doing wrong. Could I already be hitting a stall? Some advice would be great!!

At 2 weeks, I wouldn't worry, it's still very new. Your body still has a lot of that gas & junk that they pumped in you for the surgery. Don't worry. Stick to your plan & you'll be pleasantly surprised. I noticed that its normal for me that my weight fluctuates in any given week. I would weigh myself on Mondays & notice 1or 2 lbs gained which would worry me, but by Thursday I've lost them. So don't worry. Stick to your plan & it will work out. Good luck!!!!

Yep, no worries. You've had major surgery. All kinda things can impact weight in the short run, but your stomach won't grow back... Just follow your plan and ignore the scale. It'll All Work Out. PS, we all have stalls!!!

how often are you weighing yourself?

If you are doing it everyday-STOP!

Once a week is more than enough or you will drive yourself crazy (we've all been there)... as you know the same day and time every week gives you a better reading... just relax and follow your plan, you should be fine :)

I only weigh myself once a week. I am hoping it's just a stall. A friend said it may be that I started regular food after just 7 days. Unlike a normal pre op diet that has stages.

      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.
