The weight gain is ridiculous… I gained 60lbs under a year!

I expected to gain weight quickly after my ileostomy surgery but IT HASN’T STOPPED. Before my surgery my lowest weight was 108lbs, I was previously 150lbs but had a three year long Crohn’s flare up that caused me to drop the weight. I had my surgery last April, and now I am 170lbs!!! My heaviest weight ever and my diet hasn’t changed at all compared to how it was before my flare up at my previously highest weight.

I just keep gaining weight and my diet really isn’t that bad, most days I don’t eat till I get home from work around 4/5pm, and then I sometimes have a snack between then and 8pm. Yet I’ve been gaining weight like I eat fast food everyday. Is my body still adjusting to when I was underweight for 3 years? Or is this something that can happen with an ileostomy? Or is it genuinely just my fault, lol.

As much as I enjoy not being in pain anymore and actually being able to eat, going from a size extra small to nearly a size large in less than a year is mentally draining.
