One month post op weight gain?



Recommended Posts

Ok ladies and gemtlmen. I have a serious question. I am concerned because on 12-4 i weighed in at 288 this was my one month. That was 25lbs in 30 days. I am so excited. I am following the rules and having issues with nausea yet I'm still working through and staying positive. I checked my weight yesterday and it shows an 8lb gain? Could this be accurate? I'm puzzled. I'm interested to know if anyone else experienced such torture lol. In remaining positive and keep telling myself it's Water.< /p>

Yep.....totally normal. Hormones...water.....they are evil buggers! I am almost 4 mths out and I have "gained" weight 3 times. 5lbs was the most. But I follow the diet guidelines to a T so I know its just my body shifting around. As soon as I notice a gain I stay off the scale for a full week. It goes away. The first gain I mentioned it to my doctor and they assured me it was just normal body fluctuations and advised I stay off the scales. I am down 57lbs in 4 mths so its working and it will work for you to! Hang in there!

Totally normal. I'm 2.5 weeks out and 37 lbs down and this morning I got on the scale and was up 4 lbs. we are literally eating tablespoons of food. Unless you are eating straight lard or butter, I don't think it is scientifically possible for us to gain that much weight overnight (or even in a few days, lol). Don't fret! I'm just going to stay off the scale for a few days and be sure I'm getting all my Water in. Bodies are weird!!! Good luck ❤️

      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.
