Hi I'm with you all too! banded on 9/25. I'm trying to drink enough fluid, don't feel hungry at all. How are you all getting enough protein in? I'm drinking an ensure every day, but it's only 11 or 12 grams of protein...

I had my surgery on the 25th, so today is my day 3. I have a 2 week liquid diet also, I can't imagine eating solid food anyway right now. I lost 10 on the pre-op diet, and actually gained a little on surgery day which I guess is IV and I feel pretty bloated too. Somebody told me the excess water weight and bloating would disappear in about a week or so.

Hi, glad I found this thread, you all answered exactly my question: I had my surgery Thursday 9/25, and came home that afternoon and weighed 6 pounds MORE than I did that morning! Ha! Well, I sure haven't taken anything in to speak of since the surgery, only broth, tea, sugar free jello, so I know I have really "gained" 6 pounds. I have been told not to worry about the scale right now, only about healing, but it's nice to know that your collective experiences suggest that the extra 6 pounds will likely disappear in a week or so. Thanks! We all need all the encouragement we can get!
