Has anyone been prescribed calorie blockers or diet pills or appetite suppressants since surgery.

. Tell me how it's possible to gain 12 pounds in 4 days I'm so damn frustrated ugh. I eat nearly the same thing daily keeping my carbs under 20 sometimes yes I go over but never over 50. That is rare at that. Sigh but 12 pounds up in 4 days scares me. No I'm not pregnant. So today I attempted the liquid diet again. It's like the hunger has come back full force and it isn't head hunger. Hopefully a few days of liquid will shock my system. Has anyone been prescribed calorie blockers or diet pills or appetite suppressants since surgery. I know that seems odd to ask but am curious.

It has been my experience that anything gained/loss in a short period of time is Water weight. I seriously doubt you gained 12 pounds of fat in 4 days. More than likely you had something that had much more sodium in it than you knew and your body retained extra Water.< /p>

Just stick with your program and watch your sodium intake. If for any reason it concerns you do see a medical professional. Best of luck!

It's Water. With increased heat and humidity of summer, it's easy to hold on to water. I can easily hold 4-5 pounds of water. When I was 300 pounds, it was at least 10. Try increasing your Fluid intake, avoid high sodium foods (read those labels) and try to get in a little walking. Sit with your feet up when sitting.

Check the batteries in your scale. My scale has scared me a few times. Thankfully, new batteries fixed it!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
