Weight gain



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have recently gained weight and I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery, I have been at the gym for the past week and I've been eating all the correct foods so I'm confused as to what is going on and getting quite worried.

Any help would be amazing

Thanks
Xx

It's just your body being wonkey. Most people go into a stall at around 3 weeks post op, and with that a little gain can happen. You starting to workout is part of it too, I'm sure. Stay the course, don't stress and stay off the scale for a while if it's going to stress you out. The first month or so is healing time and making sure you're getting your Protein and fluids. The weight loss will follow, I promise. I've yet to see someone stop losing weight at 3 weeks out after their initial first stall.

      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.
