blackpowder72 23 Posted June 24, 2021 Hi all new here. Had gastric sleeve surgery on June 7th. Dropped 27 lbs. Started puree on June 19th. I've gained 3lbs back. I don't get it. I'm eating 600-700 calorie a day and walking 3/4 of a mile a day. Anyone else experience this . Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GummyBearQueen 115 Posted June 24, 2021 You’re not gaining. You’re likely in a stall. This will happen. Search this site for stalls or Google them. I have been losing and gaining the same two pounds for a week. The stall will break and you’ll be on your way. Patience is key. 2 Elahnen and catwoman7 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigSue 1,392 Posted June 24, 2021 Your weight is basically meaningless for the first few weeks. You just went through a major surgery and your body is catching up with the changes! It is virtually impossible to gain actual body weight right after surgery (weight fluctuations of a few pounds are very normal and usually just related to Water retention), so right now, you need to focus on healing and getting enough water and Protein. You might even want to stay off the scale for a while so you don't stress out about it needlessly. A lot of people just weigh in once per week so they don't see those fluctuations. You're doing great -- just stick with your program and you'll keep losing. 4 Nougato, catwoman7, Elahnen and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
