So I was sleeved in July 2014, and lost 70 pounds in 5 months!!! Then it stopped...it has been 10 months since I have lost anything. What's worse is I have gained 10 pounds! Now in July this year I saw my surgeon and we discussed my weight and he said to up my exercise and I have....work out at a gym now with a trainer 3-4 days a week....I am very careful as to what I eat. I guess my question is has this happened to anyone else?? My surgeon did tell me that if in 6 months there is still no change he would do the bypass revision...just scared to have another surgery...

What does "careful" eating mean? Are you eating too much, too little, etc? Has your Dr. ruled out other health conditions like thyroid?

The above questions are important, I realized at 6 months out I was eating TOO little and once I upped my intake, I started losing again. Are you being honest with yourself in what you're eat? How much you're working out? Are you gaining too much muscle, perhaps it isn't fat you are gaining?

Yes my thyroid has been checked and is fine. As to watching what I eat...I don't eat bread. And rarely ever eat rice or pasta. I snack on fresh fruit and veggies and eat my protein first at meals which normally fills me up. ( but I am lucky if it is even 4 oz). I know that muscle weighs more then fat. And my clothes are not getting tighter which is a good thing! Just freaking over the weight gain when I have not even met my goal!

Keep a food diary for the next 3-4 weeks and go over it with the nutritionist in your dr office. They should be able to tell you what you need to change!

Are you getting enough protein and water in every day?

Keep a food journal. Fresh fruit as a snack is good but can often have super high sugars. How many calories are you eating a day? How far from goal are you?

I never respond to posts like this one unless the OP provides complete calorie and macronutrient information about what they're eating for weeks at a time -- meals, Snacks, grazing, drinking, etc.

Nor do we have any information about the OP's starting weight and current weight. That would be useful, too.

Also -- what medications she's taking.
