Starting to gain the weight back help



Recommended Posts

Hi Tammy, Sorry to hear about your stroke! Glad that you are healthy again and ready to start back on track-that motivation is generally the hardest part about weight loss. I, unfortunately, have only recently been sleeved so I am unfamiliar with what advice might be the most helpful. This forum has been extremely helpful to me thus far so I am sure there will be lots of assistance. Keep your chin up!

after my stroke in June I started gaining my weight back and now I need help to restart my diet. What can I do to start to loss this weight

Hi Tammy and welcome! So sorry about your struggles!! ((hugs)) How scary!

Give us some info about yourself! How far post op, what stage you're in, what you're eating, how much, what your doctor recommends. If it was me, I'd make sure to involve not only my cardiologist but also my surgeon and RD with formulating this plan and also a plan for PT and then daily movement and exercises! You need all of those things and it's way more complicated than I can probably tell you.

I know you will get it figured out!! We're here to help you!!

Why do they think you had a stroke after losing your weight?

Just wondering are you assuming that weight loss caused the stroke? Hopefully Tammy just doesn't think they know what caused the stroke but hopefully the medical care team where able to give Tammy a good indication what caused it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
