Hi everyone I am two weeks post op and was losing pretty much 2 pounds everyday for the first 10 days and quickly lost 20 pounds, but then I started my period and gained a little. I didn't think much of it at first but I have been stuck at the same weight now for 4 or 5 days. I am still on liquid diet and haven't changed anything I can't understand what is going on. Have any of you experienced this?

I had to do full liquids for two weeks pre op and three weeks post op! I am 10 days post op, and I am really struggling. Especially when I see so many on here that are allowed salads pre op, and are on soft food one week post op....I'm dying here!

Thanks for your help everyone. I think a lot of it comes from the fact I was only able to drink water for the first week. I think my brain was in starvation mode. Now I am trying to introduce some protein and am having a real hard time stomaching them it was one thing before surgery when I could gulp down the nasty shakes, but now I can't do that and I can't stand the taste. My doctor doesn't want me to just blend regular food, he only wants me to have liquid for three weeks post op.

I am 8 days post op, and I had the same thing. It was hard to drink anything. For me it felt like the swallow would get stuck in my chest then it would build pressure my stomach would bubble and sometimes I would burp but not always. It was miserable. I lasted a full week for me. Today was the first day it didn't do it every swallow. It is really hard to get enough liquids in when it hurts that bad. I had to go back to the hospital twice for fluids the first week.

I am one week post op. I had a two week liquid diet before surgery and I have a three week liquid diet after. Right now I am feeling kind of depressed. I'm not sure this was worth it. I'm still in a lot of pain and have had to go to the hospital twice for fluids because I was dehydrated. But mainly it's the liquid diet that is killing me. Especially when I read how do many others could have soft food after one week. I would kill for soft food right now. This diet has me questioning my success and even my commitment right now. I don't know maybe I'm just venting. I just feel kind of sad right now, and it's not because I'm not losing weight because I am.
