Hi,

I’m 13 months post opp. My weight has been up and down lately and I gained nearly 10 pounds. How can I stop this from increasing? I haven’t done anything diet change wise so I’m not sure why this is happening and I’m starting to get worried [emoji30]

Should I go to the gym more? I already go 3/4 times a week.

Completely cut out carbs?

Any helpful ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I was thinking about calling my doctor and asking him what to do, he’s a little mean so I’m trying to avoid telling him bad news at all cost

I mean, mine said to call if I gain 8-10 lbs, so I’d call. Especially if your diet actually hasn’t changed.

Are you keeping a food journal? If not, start logging your intake, it's easy to underestimate how much we're actually eating, either in portion size or eating small amounts through the day that add up. Are you getting enough water, enough sleep?

Go ahead and call your docs office, you may end up talking to someone else in the office that is nice and more helpful. (Fingers crossed!)

I'm having the same issue I have gained 20 nothing differnt

What does a typical day's consumption look like for you? How many calories do you take in? Carbs? Protein?

I'm not sure how much weight you have lost overall, but as your weight diminishes, the number of calories you need to maintain or lose diminishes as well...

No I don’t track food, that’s a great idea I will start tomorrow. Getting 40-60oz of water in, my stomach still can’t take much which is weird cause of how far out I am. I literally can’t eat much so I don’t know why this is happening

Yes I’m scared the weight will come back. It’s nerve racking!

I don’t track food like that I honestly just base everything off protein every meal protein, so far I lost 130. I’m currently 180 but 2 week ago I was 170

Yes I think I’ll have to call. Don’t want this to get worst

If you start tracking, this will give you some data and an opportunity to do some analysis to make the needed changes. That will help you get a handle on the problem.

I track and I still gained

Are you pre-op or post-op? If you are post-op, how long ago was your surgery?

Post op 8/16

My surggeons office said its normal to see a ten to fifteen pound gain after goal.

I give myself a ten pound bounce range to maintain. When my weight goes up...I dial in my diet to get my weight loss mode to kick in. ...I up my exercise.
