Has anyone been prescribed calorie blockers or diet pills or appetite suppressants since surgery.



Recommended Posts

. Tell me how it's possible to gain 12 pounds in 4 days I'm so damn frustrated ugh. I eat nearly the same thing daily keeping my carbs under 20 sometimes yes I go over but never over 50. That is rare at that. Sigh but 12 pounds up in 4 days scares me. No I'm not pregnant. So today I attempted the liquid diet again. It's like the hunger has come back full force and it isn't head hunger. Hopefully a few days of liquid will shock my system. Has anyone been prescribed calorie blockers or diet pills or appetite suppressants since surgery. I know that seems odd to ask but am curious.

It has been my experience that anything gained/loss in a short period of time is Water weight. I seriously doubt you gained 12 pounds of fat in 4 days. More than likely you had something that had much more sodium in it than you knew and your body retained extra Water.< /p>

Just stick with your program and watch your sodium intake. If for any reason it concerns you do see a medical professional. Best of luck!

Thank you. My body does change things. Not working out properly due to limitations

It's Water. With increased heat and humidity of summer, it's easy to hold on to water. I can easily hold 4-5 pounds of water. When I was 300 pounds, it was at least 10. Try increasing your Fluid intake, avoid high sodium foods (read those labels) and try to get in a little walking. Sit with your feet up when sitting.

Check the batteries in your scale. My scale has scared me a few times. Thankfully, new batteries fixed it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
