Gaining weight 1 month post op!



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve on 3/3, my weight was 285! Last week I weighed in at 259 lbs. Today I am 264.6 lbs. I dont really understand what's happening. I switched from pureed to chopped foods, could that be the culprit? I exercise daily. I really dont understand what I'm doing wrong! Please help!!!!

Your body reacts to rapid weight loss by filling all those empty fat cells with Water. It is water weight. Keep on your plan, stay off the scale for a week or 10 days, keep drinking water. Been there, and it does go away.

Exercising will also build muscles, which weigh more than fat. Small fluctuations, especially when you first start working out are completely normal. Keep on the right path and keep doing the right things, and the weight will start to come off again!

What are you eating? Are you weighing, measuring, logging everything?

track what you are eating and make sure you are doing your Protein first. At 17 months out unless i intentionally eat a carb and only a carb, i still dont make it past the protein..

      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.
