12 days post op and gaining?



Recommended Posts

The title says it all. At 9 days post op I was 293.6 and for the last 3 days a few quarter pounds have been sneaking on to where I'm 295.4 this morning 12 days post op. Someone please tell me what the hell is going on as I'm not even eating normally yet and only consuming around 600-800 calories a friggin day in Protein Shakes and farina.

Same issue here! I am 10 days out from my band to sleeve revision. I lost almost 18 lbs in the first week, but have gained 2-3 in the last 5 days! I have heard it is a stall. I'm trusting the process and the fact that I'm pretty active and only consuming 400-600 calls daily, so gain isn't actually possible. How have you been in the almost 2 weeks since this post?

My stall lasted 9 days but it's over now thank goodness. Down to 291 as of this morning :) I know it's frustrating but hang in there

We know it's not actually fat you're gaining, so no need to freak out.

After a few weeks we go into a stall that can also cause a little bit of gain. Keep doing what you're doing and try your stay off the scale. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you can stay off for a couple weeks by what you'll see.

The first month shouldn't really be weight loss time. It's more healing time. Try to remember that.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
