Thank you to everyone who took the time to offer me words of encouragement or kindness. I've scoured the internet and this far the largest surgical weight gain I could find was 11 pounds. But the good news is I have lost the 14 pounds. So for any person who finds themselves in my shoes, know the gain is normal and temporary so is the frustration. I feel tremendously blessed to have found this awesome group of support. Thank you and God bless

Thank you. I will do this and it is easier with the encouragement. I greatly appreciate your oat!

Thank you. I can have soup and puddles by tomorrow and will try both. Today I'm still on clear liquids. Your concern too Che's my heart thank you

The words of encouragement mean so much to me. I'm so blessed to have found such a supportive group of friends to help me through the do things spots of this process.

Thanks for the info I am God no yo stay off the scale a few pounds would not have bothered me to the degree that the 14 pound gain did thanks for your knowledge be resonse and advice!

Thank you for respirator nding. There is nothing mean in your post just concern I called my surgeons office they could give me no explanation for the 14 pound gain thanks for the concern

ThAnk you it's good to know I'm not alone in how I am feeling I appreciate your response

Thank you for the suggestions. At this point. I am only allowed clear liquids. But I will keep your suggestions in mind as I progress

No I did not realize this weight gain was to be expected this is why I created this post asking if any one else had gained 14 pounds. Thanks for the info

I did NOT sign up for a weight gain of 14 pounds while following the program do the letter. That is NOT a little.

thanks for the concern.

THANKS, BUT after 12 days of not eating, i cant handle it taking a week or more to come off. i need to figure out a way to eat. this was a disasterous mistake.

thanks for the advice. i had cheese and cheezits and nothing came back up.

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement. I am so depressed and ready to throw in the towel and eat a cheeseburger. I am trying to hold off one more day to see if any of the 14 pounds disappear

I hope it gets better. I am 2 days post op and absolutely miserable.

Congrats on getting sleeved! I just got sleeved today. I also think about eating something soft, but I dont for 2 reasons: 1) I dont want to harm my tender new sleeve. 2 I dont want to slow my wight loss. But I totally understand your thought process

OMG. I'm only on second day of my week long liquid preop diet and it's sooo hard. I am starving and really want a White Castle jalapeño burger with no bread. Five more days to go 🙁

ME TOO! My surgery is the 24th and I am feeling exactly the same. I just want to get it over with!

the daily weight loss is awesome and keeps me going too. I think I can come to terms with not having a white castle burger for a looong time...i still cant say forever.....I need to feel better and be healthier. Good luck to you and with the dress:-)

Thanks. Since Ive already had a stoke, making the sugery safer is a great motivation. All the best to you
