why do we put on weight so easily after the band surgery?? If I eat protiens I am fine...but if I have normal food...uff...i have put on 1 kg in a day...so frustrating...

and in India we dont have many options for protiens...we dont get all the non veg varieites that you get in other countries...

and one cant go on eating cheese and pulses....I am very much depressed.

I know what you mean. I had surgery last April and only lost 15 pounds and now a year later I am back where I started from. Very depressed.

A couple things come to mind, have you had any fills? If so, do you have good restriction?

Also, do you track to calorie intake?

With good restriction, we should be able to eat no more than 1/2-1 cup of food at a sitting and shouldn't be hungry again for 4-5 hours after. This alone will drastically cut our calorie intake. However, if we're eating high calorie and/or fatty foods, then we can still gain weight even if we're only eating a small amount.

If you don't have good restriction, I would definitely go back to the doc and start getting fills. I personally use an android app called "Lose It" to track my food intake. Not only does it let me see what I'm eating at a glance but it also holds me accountable to what I eat.

Best wishes.

I eat mostly chicken as my Protein. Do you have a digital food scale? I measure out

3 oz of chicken and then eat raw veggies, and a fruit. Do your stores sell "Greek Yogurt"? This is a kind off yogurt that is much higher in protein and thicker. Can you buy Protein Powder? For Breakfast I have a greek yogurt with, half a scoop whey isolate protein powder, Splendra (artifical sweetener, Greek yogurt is sour), 1/3 cup Cereal, walnuts.

At my heaviest I went swimming everyday. I highly recommend a Water proof MP3 player; makes the time go by so much faster. Now that I have lost weight I am able to walk.

THis happens to me all the time, just keep plodding along and up your exercise. Usually a kilo in a day would be Fluid. Apparently carbs make your body hang onto fluid. If i eat a salty meal same thing happens. I have lost and gained the same two kilo many times over the past 3-4 months. I have lost in total 35 kilo over 12months, but none in the last 3 months. I am now trying to track my intake again and up the exercise. The scales were kind this morning.

Good luck.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
