Weight gain after surgery and how do I update my stats?

[Kennalb 11]

Anyone struggling with weight gain afterwards? I am a huge sugar addict and I worry about gaining back the weight. My bf does not like sweets so we don't need to have any in the house but my job always has some type of sweets lurking around.

You can update you stats by clicking patients on the menu bar, then my surgery. I didn't tell my coworkers about my surgery, but the Snacks they are bringing seem to be healthier since I've changed my own habits at work.

Maybe you can ask coworkers not to offer you sweets? I think the stats 5 years after VSG show 50% of patients will have as significant gain. It is all up to you.

Changing your relationship with food is the only way to be successful in this journey long term. If the sweets are still an issue for you (i.e., the temptation is too difficult to overcome), then you need to talk to a professional about it. The only way you are going to be successful is to do what you need to do regardless of what is around you or what other people are eating.

Good luck!
