Two weeks out and gained 7 lbs



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done 11/29 I've had no restrictions and my recovery has been smooth so far! I'm sooo disappointed because I'm gaining weight and not losing it. About 2 days ago my Aunt Flo popped up I'm praying she's causing all this commotion. Has anyone experience this right after surgery. My appetite is in full blown charge but I'm still focused. Someone please help post-307944-14816964915696_thumb.jpg

Aunt Flo is an evil bitch. Obviously I'm a guy and I can't say for sure but I've been here long enough to know that when your "houseguest" leaves you will quit retaining Water.< /p>

Beware that the hormone dumping out of your fat can do some crazy stuff to you mentally as well as affecting your menstrual cycle. It can be really long or sporadic.

I gain a couple during that time of the month, and I quit losing for a week, but the good news is the week after it drops quickly.

It's a pattern, and it's hard in the beginning, but now I anticipate getting on the scale afterwards because I can drop 2-3 pounds a day.

Hope things get better for you.. We all have our triggers to our eating n I think she is yours.. Hopefully once you get back on track when she leaves you can get stronger so when her next visit comes you can handle it better.. N her..: D... Good luck..

I had my surgery the same day as you and I'm in the same boat. I feel like I might have done this for nothing after seeing a gain. :( Are you able to get all your Protein in? I'm only getting about half in.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
