How is it even possible to gain wt after this?



Recommended Posts

hi I'm a newbie and I was sleeved 5/20/17. I hear about people on here who have expressed concerns about eating too much and gaining weight post sleeve. How is this even possible? I will be in week 7 this monday and I can only eat a couple bites of food, even if I feel hungry. My concern is that I will never eat properly again, the only thing that doesn't seem to bother me is Soup and some fruits. l like the weight loss but I am having regrets, I don't even need to eat a bunch of junk to be happy, even eating a salad or a piece of grilled chicken would be nice, but it makes my stomach hurt, almost everything irritakes my stomach (not excruciating pain, just irritated and queasy). Also nothing even tastes good anymore. Eating is just a chore. I see the people on that show my 600lb Life who gain regain up to 20lbs in a month, and it blows my mind how they can have this surgery and possibly eat that much and not kill themselves.

Will it always be this way? Why are people who are at my stage tolerating so many more things, am I normal or do you think my stomach is damaged now? Again, I don't wanna eat garbage.....I just want to eat healthy and not feel sick afterwards 😟

First- it's absolutely possible to gain. How- eating carby/non-dense slider' foods. I.e. Ice cream, potatoes, breads, chips Cookies. All those chew down pretty easily and move easily through your system. Read posts about regain- you'll see it's very very real. At 7 weeks out less so- but by a year +, totally possible.

You are only 7 weeks out everyone's body adjusts differently and tolerates food at different rates . If you don't tolerate something, leave it alone for two weeks then try it again.

      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.
