I gotta be honest, I'm feeling a lot of buyer's remorse.

I'm two weeks post-op and I've actually gained 4 pounds.

I have a vacation coming up at the end of May and I was told I would be down 40-60 pounds by then.

So far it looks like I'll be +20.

My only thought is that my pre-op diet was so awesome that my body just wanted to settle. (My happy thought that I'm clinging to)

I sure hope it kicks in soon. This is depressing.

That's good information to have.

I agree with Kindle. Also, if you talk with your NUT about the issues you are having, he or she should be able to help you with ideas that would be workable for you.

9 weeks post op.

Just got back off vacation.

I learned that I cannot eat shrimp anymore. I ate it twice at two different restaurants and puked up the soles of my feet both times.

I managed to gain 4 pounds. I'm hoping they fall off as quickly and easily as they jumped on.

My big problem right now is that I'm dizzy a lot. For the first time since I was a teen, I get super dizzy when I stand up from a chair.

Anyway.. 'Till next week.

I would be concerned about the dizziness. Are you getting enough water? How is your blood pressure? Definitely check with your doctor.

I found myself getting dizzy when getting up quickly from a chair or the floor. A co-worker suggested that it might be LOW blood pressure and asked if I was on BP pills. My doctor agreed and took me off the pills. That was just a few days ago, but I think it's getting better. I haven't noticed it as much in the past few days. Good luck!

10 weeks post op.

I started out at 355.

On the day of my surgery, I was 319 thanks to my pre-op diet.

Today I am 296.

It seems like I go three or four days then suddenly drop a pound to a pound and a half on the fourth day.

I'm still learning this new body. I still puke at least once a week. Everything I eat gives me horrible gas.

One day at a time.

At 11 months, I'm currently at 284, down from 355. Not the fantastic results that some have gotten, but I feel much better about life. At my lowest I was 268. That was about 7 or 8 months post-OP. Then, as it always has, my body corrected and it's been a slow, steady gain ever since.

I'd do it again. I may go have the rest of the bypass done (I had sleeve only) just to see if I can get another season of loss.

Glad you checked back in. I'm sorry you are still somewhat disappointed with your losses. Can you give us a picture of what you are eating now and what your activity level is like? You mentioned that you got down to 268 and then started regaining. Did anything change in your diet or activity level at that point?

I started just a little higher than you. I have lost 101 lbs in about 6.5 months. I keep my calories between 750 and 850 and I have about 90 grams of Protein a day and less than 30 net carbs.
