Do you weigh yourself daily or weekly?
gwenbfine posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am 5 weeks post op. I've stuck to each phase of the diet. I just moved to pureed foods a week ago. I have lost weight each week and am down 60 pounds since March. However, for the past two days my weight has gone up a couple of pounds. My calories are below 800 calories a day, most days much less. Is yhis something to be concerned about? -

Swallowed gum and having a stomachache.

Hi. This may sound really silly. I am 4 weeks post op and just moved to pureed foods on Sunday. I am doing fine, but this afternoon I swallowed my gum by accident. Now I have a stomachache. Is that just coincidence or paranoia? I've been totally compliant with all instructions. -

I spoke to psychiatrist with my surgery team. She said the previous surgeon she worked with recommended gum to his patients the first day.post op to stimulate digestive juices. She called in the physician's assistant and he told me it was nothing to worry about and did not tell me to stop chewing gum, though I plan to anyway. -

I don't blame you for laughing. Nothing was ever said to me and I had never read anything saying no gum. I have a follow up today. I guess I'll find out. -
I had a 6 mo insurance protocol, also.

I did 2 weeks protein shakes only pre-op. Then 1 mo protein drinks only post-op. Just moved to pureed foods yesterday for 30 days. Then soft foods for 30 days. Finally add all normal food Aug 31. My surgery was May 29th. Sounds like I have a strict team.
