Has Anyone Had A Problem With Weight Gain After TT



Recommended Posts

I lost quite a bit of weight PRIOR to WLS, then had a TT. After my TT, I had the mind set that "now I no longer have to be as careful about what I eat". Of course that thinking led me to ultimately need WLS.

Just saying, don't fall into the same trap I did. Even after a TT it is still possible to gain In your abdomen. Your weight line increases and your upper abdomen will get fuller.

How long ago was your TT? I just had mine 23 days ago. Since then I've not eaten very well. It's killing me not to be able to exercise, and for me the 2 go hand in hand. It's like if I exercise I won't ruin it by eating badly. But since I can't exercise for a while....well you know. Plus I can see my abs, so it's like I feel like that 1 this or that won't hurt me. But as you say, those,things add up and that's what got me obese in the first place.

Thanks for the tip. What's your game plan for turning things around?

I had my TT 2 years ago. It's crazy the games your mind can play. I had dieted for so long that after the TT I thought I deserved to take a break ....... eventually I got back to the weight I was when I started dieting.

I was sleeved August 5th of this year. I have since lost 32 lbs. from my highest weight. I need to lose at least 10 more pounds to be at my pre TT weight. I would like to get to 140-145, the 130's are really too thin for me @ 5'6". I am hopeful that with this new tool, and lifestyle changes I will now be able to maintain my weight loss.

Fortunately the weight I gained last came off first, so I have my waistline and my flat tummy back. I also had Lipo on my hips and backside. It wasn't all that attractive when the weight started coming back, it was very disproportionate.

Congrats on the TT. I'm sure you will do great!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
