Gaining at 3 months post-op! How? Why?



Recommended Posts

What am I doing wrong? Seeking advice, I’m 3 months post-op and have been in a 5lbs flux for over a month. Up and down, finally saw some movement last week when I forgot to take my Protein Shakes for a couple of days but as soon as I started them up again I gained. Has this happened to anyone?

Always, especially early on. Stress, Water, lack of sleep, even eating too much (which is almost impossible at 3 months but it can be done, I guess), can contribute to weight fluctuations. Don’t focus on that scale number but measurements as much as possible. Remember you’re still in the healing phase too. Stick to your program... It’ll drop.

I would schedule an appt with your dietitian or nutritionist asap. If you aren't already, make sure you log your food & exercise. That will help you & your Dr or nutritionist identify any areas of concern.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
