post-surgery weight gain

by Lorelei, Dec 22, 2005 12:00AM
On November 7, 2005 I had a total abdominal colectomy. I immediately lost ten pounds, however in the following weeks I have gained 14 pounds.  Everything I ingest (I'm on a restricted low residue diet) comes out. I am totally distressed over this unexplained gain when I am trying to lose. I have gastroparesis which limits my diet intake too. Everything I've researched talks about the weight loss after a colectomy and I am so confused as to why I would gain.  Is this abnormal or an average response?  I am at a loss and I know that I am not ingesting more than 1200 calories a day and that's only when I'm having a pain free day. When my stomach hurts, I stick to a liquid diet (eg Slimfast or another diet shake).
Any advice or any suggestions would be so welcomed.
