Does Weight Go Up and Down After Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I've had pretty steady loss since my 10/5 sleeve, although getting enough Water & Protein in a day is still very hard some days.

The= I'll have a day where I'm up 1/2 - 1 lbs. Is this the body trying to find its equilibrium from losing steadily? Is there something I should be doing that I'm missing? I could understand "flat", but gaining seems kind of weird.

Any great things that have worked for you?

Not sure had gastric bypass not sleeve.

But weight fluctuates daily post and pre op. My experience I weigh myself the same day as I had my surgery - a Thursday once a week for the past 2 years since my surgery....helps to keep me on track and that is my weight for the week not a daily thing.

I would recommend following up with your bariatric team.

could be Water retention due to sodium or full intestines. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts trending up. I'd have that occasionally, and it'd be gone a day or two later.

      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.
