6 month weight gain?!?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else experience this? I have only gained 2 pounds but worried about gaining more. I haven’t changed my diet or anything so I don’t understand!

How many carbs are you eating in a day?

Without knowing more about your situation, you probably aren't eating enough for 6 months out. I'm a lot taller than you, yes, but at 6 months post-op, I was consuming about 1200 calories per day. 800 is really low for anyone, especially if you are exercising at all...

2 lbs? I’d worry if it were 10lbs or more and it all happened within a week or two. Most likely Water weight. Also, is it almost that “time”? Have you been eating more salt then usual? Are you stressed at work, school, home-life? So many factors can be addressing that 2 lbs, but try not to worry about it, Check again in a week after altering a little something in your life that you know might be hindering your results. If not, still check in a bout a week or two, it’ll probably be gone and/or you’ll have a good loss. Hope this helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
