Worried about weight gain...

[ladylaura 77]

Hi all,

I'm having the surgery done on the 10th. I've gained 5 lbs in about a week/week 1/2. I'm worried that if it's so easy for me to gain weight (I have a friend that is too thin and can't put on weight no matter how hard she tries), will it stay the same after the surgery? Does your body chemistry completely change after? I don't plan on having a feast or anything after But I am concerned I will be able to gain easily like I am now...

Has anyone else had this issue too?

I am the same way, I had mine done april 15, I still get hungry, mostly head hunger. I have to work hard to lose, weight. I have lost 25 in 7 wks but its been hard for me. Its not as easy as alot of people make it out to be lol. I eat about 1000 to 1200 a day. an exercise an hr 4 to 5 times a week. Good luck

Putting on weight is incredibly easy for me ... before I would go away for a 2 week holiday and easily gain 8-10lbs. But suprise, suprise I'm a fast LOSER also! As long as you do not constantly snack or drink your calories and make an effort to exercise I would think its incredibly hard to gain large amounts of weight! Are you not on pre-op diet? Sounds like you are having a food funeral!

Thanks!!

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to work pretty hard after also. I guess we will see. They didn't put me on a pre-op diet. The nutritionist just suggested I start replacing meals with the Protein shake the week before, so I will start that tomorrow.
