I was sleeved 12/10 I ended up staying in the hospital 2 extra days because my heart rate was so unbelievably high.

The first week I lost 10lbs and my doctor sped up my diet because I wasn't getting enough Calories. He told me to start soft foods over the weekend because I couldn't keep down purees. I have been religious about getting all my fluids (between 69-78 oz a day) and have been struggling to meet my protien goal. I have been walking and working out as much as I can stand but get EXTREMELY worn out very quickly.

I have gained back 6 lbs of the 10 I lost the first week.

I never get full or stuck/sick feeling. I feel like I am constantly hungry. It is really bumming me out and making me think the surgery didn't work. Is this weight gain normal? Is there something I am doing wrong or need to do better?

No, there are scientific reasons for stalls and weight gain early out from these surgeries. And it's NOT because someone is eating too much or the wrong things, because it's physically impossible at that point. Further out when you can consume a little more? Of course!

And no, I'm not the be all of bariatric advice. Not even close. Heck, i'm still a relative newbie. But experience and almost 2 years reading these forums and seeing HUNDREDS of posts about this very phenomenon of weight gain and stalling at the OP's time frame is enough evidence for me.

It's okay. I remember thinking I knew it all at 6 months out, too. Just be careful giving advice when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Stalls and weight gains are not the same thing. Stalls mean no movement, no weight loss.

I don't think I know it all. Far from it. However, when someone makes a post about gaining weight it's only natural for someone to bring up the topic of possibly eating too many carbs. Because that does happen. It may not be apt for this situation and that's okay. But it's a perfectly reasonable response.

I'm not sure why people interpreted my post so negatively. It definitely was never meant as such and I would never attack or dump on a fellow sleever or even a person thinking of getting the sleeve.

Sigh. Some people gain weight when they stall. I did. I'd go up a pound or two, then stay there. It wasn't what I was eating. Please read the article I posted. It explains what happens.

I know what you're trying to say, but dude, one thing I've learned in this whole process is it's NOT as simple as 'calories in, calories out'. Our bodies are much more complicated than that. I wish it was that simple!

Good job on your weight loss by the way and Merry Christmas!
