Weight Gain After Gastric Sleeve Surgery



Recommended Posts

I am so dissapointed with myself. It has been a rough year for me and I have returned to seek comfort food. As a result, I have gained 10lbs back.

It's not to late to get back on track!! You can do it. I am almost three years post op and I have times I might put back on 5 pounds. My strategy is just nip it in the bud early. What works for me is to do a liquid diet of Protein Shakes for a day or two and then almost zero carbs until my regain is gone. It Usually comes off pretty quickly. You can do it!!

Considering you lost 80 pounds before, you shouldn't have too much trouble dumping the 10 you gained. Just stick to it!

10 pounds might not seem like a lot to most people but my very good friend is your height so I know 10 pounds is a lot to someone your size.

I would suggest doing 4 ounces of dense Protein, grilled chicken, steak, pork chops etc. Grilled, baked, 5 times a day, so you aren't hungry.

Get back on the wagon. Eat small meals of lean, dense Protein, get your calories down around 1200 or so, and get your carbs below 20-25 grams. You'll get the weight back off.

I'm trying. I hadn't eaten carbs for two years and then started again (sliding food). It's amazing how much you can eat and still be hungry. Protein Drinks taste nasty to me after two years of drinking these. I have found myself searching for actual meat in the fridge. A bit or two and it can be quite filling. Looking for what can motivate me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
