Hi, I am almost 6 months post op. My weight loss was gradually until recently I find it weird.

I meet weight loss stall and I increase my walking distance to counter it . Hi we’re recently I had this issue. If I had to take some rest off the exercise and I notice the 1st day I gained 1lb!! Is this normal as I may think it’s my body regaining the water due to me not exercising. I am trying to rest few more days and see how my weight goes.

What I mean is during weekends I do not exercise as much as weekdays and due to that I gained weight! It happened recently. Is this normal?

Hi,

You must be really worried. I am four days post-op and I will share some issue's I've had, this early in the journey. First, the two week liquid diet was too hard for me!! I felt like I was going crazy. I'll admit it, I cheated. Many here will frown, if not yell at me, for this but I was just too stressed out on the liquid diet. I even broke out with hives! So, I had a small 2oz helping of skinless chicken breast and this happened twice. Now, I'm four days out and I am still feeling like I want to cheat since I'm still on a two week liquid post-op diet. I lost 4 pounds during the pre- diet and four days post-op I have lost five pounds.

You asked the question about exercise and weekends. The answer is yes. You should be walking every day. (Surgeon direction to me). Maybe try some other form of exercise? I was looking for low impact aerobic yoga and something called cardio-drumming. Youtube will have videos of these exercise routines so that could give you some ideas. Another suggestion, did you work with a dietitian before the surgery? If so, I would call them. If not, I would try to find one. I hope it helps! Good luck!
