Weight gain after 1 week post op



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was sleeved on 5/16, and I lost 10 lbs in the first 10 days, and since I started purees I have stopped losing weight and actually have gained 3 lbs. I know they say you can stall at week 2 or 3, but this is so beyond frustrating.

How in the world have I GAINED weight? I haven't eaten more than 800 calories in a day.

I know I just need to keep at it, it is just so upsetting that I went through all of this and I'm not getting any results. (Not losing inches either, I checked).

Honestly, I would stay off of the scale for the entire first month. Nothing is going to be accurate because your body is desperately trying to heal. Just stick to your plan, walk, and meet your Protein and Water goals each day and eventually, the weight will come off.

I could've written this post because the EXACT same thing is happening to me. I was sleeved 5/16. I gained three pounds one week and I have no reason why. I lost those three pounds after a week. However I've only lost 1 pound since surgery. I feel your frustration.

Sleeved on the 15th of May. I don't weigh myself so I don't have any frustrations. I'd encourage y'all to do as @blizair09 mentioned above.

Tomorrow will be my first weigh at my two week post op. I just tried on a blouse I love and it was big. No matter what the scale says I know things are changing. I've had such peace of mind not weighing and obsessing over the numbers. I'm just doing what they told me.

I was sleeved on 5/3 and I stalled on week 2 and 3. It was beyond frustrating so I know what you mean. If you get your Protein and Water in and walk it will start to come off. The body is trying to heal and it's going through a change. It's trying to keep the fat.... I wasn't eating enough and I was doing too much exercise.... I am only doing walks and getting everything else is and my body is starting to realize this is the new normal and it's okay. You will get there! Keep doing what your supposed to and you will be seeing progress in no time!

I got sleeved 5/15/2017, I'm going through a stall after losing weight very quickly (from 283 to 245) and I think I'm going to put the scale away for a while because it's frustrating...but we all have to keep focused and keep on keeping on!

      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.
