Easily gaining weight?



Recommended Posts

I'm very happy with my decision to get the sleeve done but i've been stuck around the same weight for the last 2 months. I dropped 50lbs almost instantly but just last week, I was 278, few days later I was 289. I can't say I eat extremely healthy but I can't say I eat extremely bad. And, of course, I can't consume much food. Why is it soo easy to gain weight, soo quickly? Is it just Water weight? I feel like the weight gain is defeating the purpose.

I wouldn't think 11#s is "Water weight" .. Do you log the food/calories you eat? Maybe it would help you to do so if you don't.. You might be surprised.. You can also look up how many calories it takes to sustain the weight you are then you'll know what you need to stay under to continue to lose

By "not eating healthy" do you mean not following your prescribed diet? Being the same weight for days or weeks is normal but gaining 11 pounds isn't.

How much Protein and carbs do you eat daily?

Drinking enough Water?

Exercising?

Avoiding "Slider" foods and alcohol?

You don't have to justify any of this to me but you do need to be honest with yourself.

The WLS is just a tool. To lose weight we really have to do ALL the work ourselves.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
