I was down 7 pounds from my last fill in March. I had good restriction. Then.....I went to a party Saturday and Easter dinner on Sunday. I gained it ALL back from Friday morning. How is that possible? Did I over-indulge? YES! but 7 pounds worth? In 3 days? I am sooooooo mad. My weigh in is Thursday.I should have weighed in last Thursday, but they were closed for Holiday. AARRGH!

That sounds very strange. Are you expecting TOM to arrive? Did you keep track of calories you took in? Did you weigh in first thing this morning?

I just don't know how a swing like that is possible, unless there is something making you retain liquid, like TOM. I am looking forward to reading what everyone else thinks. Very odd.

Did you eat a lot of salt filled Snacks, and Ham has lots of sodium. Sound like Water weight. Flush it out. Drink, Drink, Drink lots of Water. (be near a bathroom). The water will flush out the sodium and the weight will disappear.

A lot was salty: hot finger foods, ham for Easter, regular cheese, etc. I know it is not TOM. (Don't have that due to Birth control) I have been drinking, but will step it up.

I weighed myself Friday morning and was 252. I have been trying so hard to get to 249 as that will make 40 lbs and put me below 250 for the first time in 10 years. I was so excited to be so close. Last night and this morning I was 259 again. Really being extra diligent today and will keep drinking and drinking. I am on a steroid inhaler again this week due to bronchitis that will not go a way! That may be part of it too.

TX for the responses.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
