Gained 15 lbs. Help!



Recommended Posts

I'm 1 year a 7 months out and I've put on 15 lbs from my lowest and it's all in my tire. I have a wedding to attend this coming Saturday. So that gives me 5 good days for liquid diet and exercise. How much weight do you guys think I can lose in that period of time?? Has anyone ever been through this?

I'm only 3 months post op but-- at almost 2 years out you should have a better handle on this situation. I doubt there is much you will be able to do in 5 days. I suggest gaining control of your eating-- by following the guidelines provided to you post op. Start from there. You did not provide much in the way of info in terms of what behaviors led you to a 15 lb gain? What are you currently doing? Not sure if you are exercising-- meeting your Protein, or Fluid requirements? Are you taking in too many carbs, calories, over what period of time did this gain occur? You should still be closely monitoring your weight to make adjustments as necessary. In the meanwhile I would dust myself off and get a good Shapewear undergarment, wear an outfit that is flattering to your body type and start fresh. If necessary make an appt with your surgical team meet with your dietician review your current intake and relax you can do this.

You've come this far-- use the tool to your advantage the rest is up to you. I'm rooting for you!!!!!!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
