I had my sleeve done 11/29 I've had no restrictions and my recovery has been smooth so far! I'm sooo disappointed because I'm gaining weight and not losing it. About 2 days ago my Aunt Flo popped up I'm praying she's causing all this commotion. Has anyone experience this right after surgery. My appetite is in full blown charge but I'm still focused. Someone please help

Aunt Flo is an evil bitch. Obviously I'm a guy and I can't say for sure but I've been here long enough to know that when your "houseguest" leaves you will quit retaining water.

Thank you sooo much she is evil omg got me crying and s***. I'm hardcore we don't cry lmao! See I've had issues with her all my life and never really had a relationship with her so this feeling is new to me.

Beware that the hormone dumping out of your fat can do some crazy stuff to you mentally as well as affecting your menstrual cycle. It can be really long or sporadic.

You are so right ughh

I gain a couple during that time of the month, and I quit losing for a week, but the good news is the week after it drops quickly.

It's a pattern, and it's hard in the beginning, but now I anticipate getting on the scale afterwards because I can drop 2-3 pounds a day.

Remember having surgery you be bloated cause of all liquid intake from the IV and medications..

Hope things get better for you.. We all have our triggers to our eating n I think she is yours.. Hopefully once you get back on track when she leaves you can get stronger so when her next visit comes you can handle it better.. N her..: D... Good luck..

I had my surgery the same day as you and I'm in the same boat. I feel like I might have done this for nothing after seeing a gain. Are you able to get all your Protein in? I'm only getting about half in.

Hi sleeve twin and nope I don't get all my Protein because I hate Premier Protein shakes they are too sweet but I get around 40 to 50 grams because I eat a lot of eggs. I feel like my stomach is healed I can eat anything (but I don't) still on puréed lol
