Weight Regain After Gastric Sleeve



Recommended Posts

I’m in the same boat I’m 2 years out in March and I’ve regained exactly how much I’m to scared to look lately but it was 5kgs a few months back drinking alcohol has been the biggest issue as I get drunk fast but I use to never drink prior to surgery now I do every night except the last week I’ve stopped
I can also eat bread and chocolate and lollies I was sleeved and wish I had chosen RNY so I’d atleast get dumping and not continue to eat bad things
I snack all the time and don’t exercise I’m miserable I
Was self pay and cannot believe I’m having these issues now I was so good in the beginning so strict
Please let me k ow how your going with your weight loss

I will most definitely let you know how things are going with the weight loss. Snacking and drinking are my 2 biggest challenges as well, but I keep reminding myself of everything I sacrificed to lose the weight and I just can't let it fall by the wayside.

I find my self these last few days wishing I had chosen the RNY instead of sleeve as someone explained how there doctor explained how their doctor explained the two surgery’s and that was I’d you like sweet things and have no will power rny is for you if you can work out and a strict sleeve is for you no I find myself full of regret that I chose the wrong surgery

You beautiful women who did regain and are getting back on track: what would your advice be for those still in the losing months? For example, I am almost 6 months out, losing slowly but steadily. I don’t eat any carbs except natural ones like vegetables and potatoes. I focus on Protein. I don’t eat any sugar except a homemade granola made with seeds and oats that is made with a bit of maple, and I only eat 2.5 Oz of that a day. I do eat 85-90% dark chocolate, maybe 2-4 squares a day. Total calories around 1000 a day, total protein I try for 60 g a day, most days I make it. And I lose 1-2 lbs a week usually. I exercise but not as much as I want to.

I have given up almost all fruit (might have one bite a day), all dessert and breads and processed carbs. Do you guys think this is enough? If I could stay with this, would it prevent me gaining the weight I lose back? My only drink is Water, period. (I made a hot chocolate over the holidays with 85% dark chocolate bits mixed into hot milk, only drank 2 oz). No Desserts other than that dark chocolate.

if I stay away from the carbs will I be able to not regain? If you had avoided empty carbs, would you have not needed to re-lose? Thanks for the advice.

All if you sound awesome and look so good. I know you will get back on track. Much success to you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
