Who gained weight during the "mushy" stage



Recommended Posts

Did you experience weight gain during this stage? When did it turn around for you? I've noticed a 1.5lb change this week since I graduated to mushy's :tt1:

I lost a pound every day for one week straight while on the post-op liquid stage and I was so excited but not for very long I gained all 7lbs. back once I started the mushie stage and increasded my calories back to 1200 - 1500 calories. I have lost some weight since the surgery I do not have any restriction yet but I know some lose slower than others. Lisa.

I lost during both liquids and mushy stages... but less than 1/2 as much during the mushy stage-- and there was a LOT of up and down on the scale from day to day. I'd be up a pound for a few days, then down again..

So- give it time. No worries!

I gained on mushies, once I started getting fills I started losing 2 pounds a week, now as I get closer to goal I am losing .5 to 1 a week. Everything will kick in when you start getting restriction. Be sure and only eat 1 cup of food at a time, so you will be use to it when the fills start. Good luck.

I'm finishing up week 3 and have been on mushies for about two weeks now....I lost 20lbs the first week post op and then went on mushies and only lost 2lbs that week. I think alot of it had to do with the fact that I was eating Potato Soup (put through a blender) like 3 meals a day; and I went back and looked and I was taking in almost 3 times the recommended amount of sodium everyday...so I think I was retaining some water...i went back to more liquids than mushies this week and have really been monitoring my sodium intake...I weigh in on Monday and will know one way or the other if my theory is correct...I think it is because I feel and can see a difference from last week... :tt1:

i am two weeks out and started mushies on wednesday. i thought that being on mushies might slow the loss but oddly enough i have lost three pounds since wednesday. i dunno if this is just a fluke or if it will continue but i sure hope it does. i've been getting alot of Protein in though. doing lots of scrambled eggs and pureed meats. not sure if that would make a difference, but it might.

I am worried about gaining on the mushie stage as I am only getting about 200cals a day at the moment. So surely it must go up when that increases? But hopefully I will be able to exercise by then so maybe that will help.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
