After WLS, I Gain A Little Weight When I eat at parties and events because I cannot control the calories in the food & when I pretend calories don't count for me, they obviously do 😳

After WLS, I Gain A Little Weight When……

I go on vacation and eat what I want and don’t weigh myself. Now that I’m years out, the weight gain is fast and its slow to get back off.

When i look at a carb LOL

At least that is how I feel...however, mostly the scale goes up when I dont drink Water like I know it should be. It goes back down but takes a bit sometimes.

When I ate a pickled onion (small cocktail one!) ...

when I ate a slice of 'LivLife Low Carbs Seriously Seeded Loaf' - 68cals per slice, 3.8g carbs per slice!! 0.22g sodium per slice.

And, after just being away at the weekend - the weight goes up when I don't weigh myself every day! I tracked my food - kept below 1000cals, 25g carbs... maybe I didn't drink enough Water? ?!!

Eating anything new seems to cause a weight gain it seems ... "huff"....

@GreenTealael fantastic topic! :)

After WLS, I Gain A Little Weight When I eat red meat for three days in a row, and nothing moves down there (ahem!). A few prunes fix that though! 😉

Also, hitting the red wine on holiday doesn't help me to lose. 😒

You may want to try Naked PB powder. Naked PB Just add a little Water and you can get the PB fix without the guilt. It's loaded with branch amino acids that are really good for you!!!

Don't have a BM every day...

YES. I'm always amazed at how many lbs my bowels can carry!

Also, after WLS, I gain a little weight every time I have my period. Its like I spend 2 weeks to drop 5 bls. Then I gain 3-5lbs a week before my period...then I don't lose it til almost a week after. So that's about 2 weeks of every month that I'm struggling and discouraged.

So end result is that I have to lose the 3-5 lbs of Water from the monthly cycle and then 3-5lbs of my own honest weight loss. /hate

TRUTH!

Also, when I have my period, and when I ovulate.

And definitely "After WLS, I gain a little weight when I... step on the scales, convinced I did everything right the day before and that the numbers will reflect that!"

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
