Weight gain after gastric sleeve surgery can occur due to various factors, despite the procedure's initial effectiveness in promoting weight loss. Common causes include poor dietary choices, such as consuming high-calorie, sugary, or processed foods, which can lead to overeating and the stretching of the stomach pouch. Psychological factors, such as emotional eating, can also contribute to weight regain. Additionally, metabolic adaptations and lifestyle changes post-surgery may impact weight management. To address these issues, solutions include adopting a balanced, nutrient-dense diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and seeking support through counseling or support groups. Monitoring portion sizes and practicing mindful eating are also crucial in maintaining weight loss and preventing regain after gastric sleeve surgery.
