Your body has to re-teach itself that it is not actually starving to death, you will lose again, just stay off the scale for a while

Honestly, this sounds awfully high in fat. That could be throwing things off.

I agree but it said 33 grams of that was in my salad...before dressing. I seriously doubt it as there was only a small amount of cheese on it. I think they entered the info into myfitnesspal incorrectly. But that is what it says so that is what I am rolling with for now. But yeah...that seemed a bit high to me too.

Was it a prepared salad that you bought? Or did you make it? If you bought it, I can believe that it had 33g fat in it. Egg, bacon, cheese... plus the dressing. It adds up.

My nutritionist told me, when buying food look for items that have less than 5g total fat and less than 15g total carbs.

Unfortunately I did not have a NUT and the instructions post surgery were so inconsistent that many ppl started asking the doc. Instead of giving us correct information he just kept saying....do whatever you want...I'll resleeve you in 2 years.

So I have never asked questions since.

What? That sounds crazy.

I just wanted to point out that you didn't really gain 3 pounds from eating 1200 calories in two days (and actually not even if you did all week). 1 lb is roughly 3500 calories. So you would have had to eat 3x that beyond what it takes for your body to survive.

So take a deep breath it's most likely Water weight. When u don't drink enough Water your body will hold on to it.

That's what I was thinking! !! But I have not gained or lost even .01 pounds for many weeks. (I weigh everyday. ) so no water fluctuations but then...BAM 3 pounds. It freaked my ass out!
Ugh, unfortunately that's very common for me. I'll wake up and I'm 10lbs heavier... it's because I'm starting to pms and I retain water like crazy. Expecially if my albumin is low (have a non wls related Protein issue).

Oh and when I lose weight my hormones go crazy so I end up pmsing a couple times a month.

So when your weight goes up just keep those things in mind and try not to stress.

You are PAYING for a table he said you broke? A BARIATRIC surgeon does not purchase a table that will support a bariatric patient? I am sorry but you are a fool to pay one red cent to this surgeon. Get a lawyer!! Please tell us his/her NAME, we would like to know.



He has said a lot of crap like that. He has his own forum on Facebook. The final straw for me was when a girl said....why am I still stalled. His reply was "don't worry, you will break the stall just like you broke my table from you high bmi...which I am still paying for and the hospital reminds me of everyday. "

In a public post, in a public forum, for all to see. Nothing he has said to anyone so far has been helpful. So I just went off on my own.

The doctor's name was "Dr. Kelly," the OP said.

The table broke when a different patient (not the OP) was on it -- so said the insane surgeon.

Honestly, for a surgeon to say something like this in a FB group says to me: This surgeon is typing under the influence of something -- alcohol or drugs. Seriously. Not kidding. At all.

Right?! And the difference in conversation between in person and online is Jekyll and Hyde.

No no no...NOT ME. It was a different girl...and he is not making her pay for it financially. My issue was he humiliated her over it on a forum for all the other patients to see.

Your surgeon is FIRED! I'm glad you're not tolerating his nonsense.

I'm not prone to violence, but I'd consider a good throat punch for someone who told me to come back in 2 years to be re-sleeved. Actually a good kick in the nuts would be effective too.

My patience has been tried on your behalf.

Someone should report him to the medical board at the hospital. Let them deal with his rude disrespectful antics.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
