I cant stop gaining weight!!!!

[Debz1809]

I am so depressed. I have had an operation to take my gallbladder out. I was away from Slimming World for a few weeks and when I went back 2 weeks ago, I had gained 10lbs. I was gutted but it gave me the kick up the ass that I needed. Been sticking to the plan 100% and I gained 1.5lbs this week. I felt that I should have lost weight. I am diabetic and I take metformin tablets and byetta injection. I have had no side effects with the injection before my op and now I cant take it after having my gallbladder out. I hv to stay off it for 6 weeks and I just feel like I putting on loads. I am so de-motivated and I hate it!!!! :cry::cry::cry:
Not sure what to do, i have even had people saying that I am putting on weight, it is a horrible feeling!!!

Sorry I haven't got any advice re medication and gaining, but just wanted to send a hug and to say that I hope you start losing again soon. I know medications can have strange effects on our weight, so hopefully you'll get sorted out soon.

Don't give up!
I am a type 2 diabetic and start each day with a cocktail of 12 tables including metformin.
I enjoy my meals and always include a salad and a portion of fruit after, when possible.A week of homemade soups seem to help me so once every month I do that.
Good luck.............

How long is it since your op? If it's within the last 10 weeks or so you could be retaining water and other fluids in your tissues due to the healing process. Also the body holds onto and tries to store fat after a trauma to protect itself and for the body an operation like that would be a trauma.
If you just stick to food optimising it will eventually back off but it'll probably be slow until the body realises that it's out of danger and so can release fat again.

Take care and hope you have a swift recovery.
