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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
