1 month post op weight gain



Recommended Posts

I am exactly 4 weeks post op i lost 20 lbs and in one week gained 6 lbs. I am trying to stick to the diet but having a hard time. During the day I am not hungry at all but as soon as I set foot in the house I'm starving. Weekends are the worst since I don't have an active social life Im in the the house thinking of food constantly. has anyone else experience this. My first fill is not until the end of July I am truly disappointed in myself and embarrassed that I have fallen off already. I am willing to listen to all suggestions. Please give me some guidance.

Can you call your doctor and tell them whats going on and see if you can get a fill sooner? I gained 2 pounds one week and called my doc. I got my 2nd fill two weeks after my first one because my swelling went down a few days after my first till. All i did was call the office and they told me to come in that day!

Do NOT have the food in the house and you won't crave it as much and when you do, it won't be there for you to devour.

Try to keep just enough food for 6 meals or so and remember if you eat tomorrows lunch you will have to either go out or go without.

It's time to start playing a mental game with yourself.

I was banded May 13, 2010. The first couple of weeks, I wasnt even hungry. Since then though, I notice my hunger is coming back. I have had to keep close track of my calories to make sure I don't over eat. Before you start getting fills and feel restriction, you really have to keep track of what you're eating. I have my first fill on July 8 and am scared, yet excited. I'm hearing once you get to that "sweet spot", it gets easier. Just hang in there! I have noticed that exercising has really helped boost my metabolism. I do alot of walking!

My Dr's. instructions say if you're having hunger or experiencing weight gain to call his office. It may be time for a fill (early).

I understand the home thing- home is the worst for me as well. I am in bandster hell and it is tough. I did a few things to help with this ... I got rid of the bad foods as much as I could, I post on here and hope that it passes and I exercise...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
