Weight gain after 1 week post op



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I was sleeved on 5/16, and I lost 10 lbs in the first 10 days, and since I started purees I have stopped losing weight and actually have gained 3 lbs. I know they say you can stall at week 2 or 3, but this is so beyond frustrating.

How in the world have I GAINED weight? I haven't eaten more than 800 calories in a day.

I know I just need to keep at it, it is just so upsetting that I went through all of this and I'm not getting any results. (Not losing inches either, I checked).

Honestly, I would stay off of the scale for the entire first month. Nothing is going to be accurate because your body is desperately trying to heal. Just stick to your plan, walk, and meet your Protein and Water goals each day and eventually, the weight will come off.

I could've written this post because the EXACT same thing is happening to me. I was sleeved 5/16. I gained three pounds one week and I have no reason why. I lost those three pounds after a week. However I've only lost 1 pound since surgery. I feel your frustration.

Sleeved on the 15th of May. I don't weigh myself so I don't have any frustrations. I'd encourage y'all to do as @blizair09 mentioned above.

Tomorrow will be my first weigh at my two week post op. I just tried on a blouse I love and it was big. No matter what the scale says I know things are changing. I've had such peace of mind not weighing and obsessing over the numbers. I'm just doing what they told me.

I was sleeved on 5/3 and I stalled on week 2 and 3. It was beyond frustrating so I know what you mean. If you get your Protein and Water in and walk it will start to come off. The body is trying to heal and it's going through a change. It's trying to keep the fat.... I wasn't eating enough and I was doing too much exercise.... I am only doing walks and getting everything else is and my body is starting to realize this is the new normal and it's okay. You will get there! Keep doing what your supposed to and you will be seeing progress in no time!

I got sleeved 5/15/2017, I'm going through a stall after losing weight very quickly (from 283 to 245) and I think I'm going to put the scale away for a while because it's frustrating...but we all have to keep focused and keep on keeping on!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
