Weight Gained Since Having Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[sleeve 4 me 910]

HI Y'all,

I wanted to do some research with REAL people instead of reading about it in some report.

I'm wondering how much weight (IF ANY) you have gained since being sleeved. I go up between 1-3 lbs. so my answer would be 1-5 lbs.

I'm curious to see how this goes.

Thanks!

May you could add an option for none as most people do not gain weight. I have gained none. It does fluctuate 2 pounds close to the mentrual period as normal but it goes away in a couple of days.

I think the poll would have the most value if you knew how long people had been sleeved and what amount of weight has been gained in each of those time frames. Also, maybe incorporate age and gender and eliminate those who have been sleeved less than a certain length of time (6 months or maybe a year).

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think of other ways to modify the poll, so never mind. LOL

OK so you would fall under the 1-5 lbs. I understand you normally lose it, but I'm really just interested in the MOST weight gain sleevers have had.

Thanks sweets!

Hahahahahaha! I agree there are MANY MANY MANY Ways to modify the poll, but I really just want to know exactly what I asked. How much weight gained (IF ANY)?

So far I haven't had a single gain so could not answer. I am early out though....

When I tried to quit smoking I gained 8lbs! I am down all 8 now and weigh in on Thursday, I "feel" I should be down another 3 by then.

My weight see-saws all over the place. I never seem to gain more than 3 pounds from my lowest before dropping below that again on my downward direction...(so far) I weight daily...and am at 8 months.

I was 2 years post op at the end of April. I go up and down 5 lbs depending on if I am going out to a lot of social gatherings where there are Desserts that i can't resist. Sweets are my downfall. I keep them out of the house.

For the most part, it's easy to stay at goal.

I'm always going up and down a few pounds. I would find it odd that anyone would *never* fluctuate. Especially a woman...

[TwoStepsBack 15]

I too have fluctuated a bit, usually up to about 4lb. When I did my ticker I was @ 3lb to goal, I am now at 7lb to goal I just need to remember that when I hit a stall I float around a 4lb range before finally starting to drop again.

Got my one year follow up appt next week (a couple of weeks early) and was hoping to be at goal by then, but it's not going to happen

Taken Friday and Monday off work so I can hit the gym every day of the long weekend to try and help it along a bit!

I am only three months out and I weigh myself every single day. There are times when I weigh in about 3-4 pounds more than the day before. But then one random day I loose it all plus a bit more. I have very irregular periods and I notice that when I am spotting or about to get it my weight fluctuates even more. For me, I think the unsteady numbers have to do with my hormone imbalance.
