The weight rebound of 5-10 pounds-where does it go?



Recommended Posts

I’m curious from what I’ve read once you get down past your goal you typically rebound up 5 to 10 pounds or 5 to 10%. Where does that weight settle at? Did it go back to your hips,stomach, chest everywhere?

I rebounded 12 lbs from my lowest weight (people who started out where I did (373) typically rebound more than 5-10 lbs, so that 5-10% of weight lost that you quoted is probably more accurate). I guess it kind of went all over. It's hard to say because I'm still within a normal BMI range, and I've also had plastic surgery with liposuction, so I really don't have any extra fat anywhere..

I don’t think you can predict where you gain or lose weight. We all have different body types.

My Surgeon said a 5 to 20-pound bounce after goal may happen. I had a gain my third year. I could have stayed at a higher weight; I decided to work it back down.

A ten-pound gain goes to my mid-section but I can still wear the same size clothing.

      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?

      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.
