Weight gain after surgery

[MrsOwlison2004 1]

So glad to see I am not the only one who has gained weight. I am post-op sleeve of 2 years and in the last 2 months I have slowly creeped up from 173 to 193 this morning. It is so frustrating because I am not gorging on food and even still I have those certain foods I can't eat due to the sleeve.

I feel like a complete failure. I recently had a formal event to attend and went from trying on the size 16 dresses that I should be in to having to by a 2 XL dress .. I was in tears while trying on those dresses. I had a beautiful formal at home that I had hoped to wear but it would not fit at all!

I am trying the natural supplements to help with glucose metabolism and carbs etc. Just started them this week.
I am still on the same dose of Thyroid medication I was on prior to surgery.

Worried to death that I have stretched out my pouch, just consumed by this lack of weight loss and now weight gain when I see other sleevers and bypasses losing 100lbs in the first year or less. .

I wanted to do the pouch test but the nutritionist at my surgeons office said that it would not be

good for me to do this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

@@MrsOwlison2004, I know it's been several months since this post, but have you had your thyroid checked? I've heard of people experiencing changes in thyroid function after surgery, and frankly, it is something that should be well managed by your physician with regular testing. I get mine checked every 6 months, and I have changed my dose several times in the past couple of years.
