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.

      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.
