Gaining weight post Nissen

Most people start to regain the weight (slowly), after they advance their diet. If you continue to lose weight, you might want to consider consulting a nutritionist.

Unfortunately, the gas and bloating is pretty common. Chances are that you are no longer able to belch the same as before the surgery, and the gas only has one exit. Try some anti-gas medication with simethicone, it worked for me. You might want to read about "dumping syndrome". I found that if I drank too much fluid with my meals, it had a tendency to rush quickly through my system. The problem is that most surgeon's don't properly explain what your recovery will be like, you have gone through major abdominal surgery and your stomach is still "angry". You are still early in your recovery, don't expect too much too soon. I only started to feel better roughly 6 months after, and my "new" self at one year.

DSJP, weight loss continued for a good 4+ months in my case and I dropped a total of 42lbs. Just as easily as it fell, it just plateaued out and I regained about 10lbs the next 4 months. It's stayed constant since. My doctor explained all the liquid and light, soft foods give us just enough calories with not much stored. However, once the inflammation truly starts to subside, we do have the ability to regain and hit an optimal number for our age, height, race & gender. I hope you're feeling well though...
