Gaining weight once off liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I recently came off my liquid diet. I lost weight. Now I am eating regular foods ( most) and have gained back some of what I lost on the liquid diet!! I am not eating alot and stop before I'm actually full. I will not get my first fill until approx 3 more weeks! I don't understand why I'm gaining when I'm eating only small amounts. HELP!! What can I do till I get my first fill??? Is this what "bandster hell" is??!! Totally sucks! I have a very demanding job and can not stay on liquid diet a day longer cause I feel way too weak and tired. Any suggestions??

That is perfectly normal. We all gain when we move from liquids to solid food. Just be patient and let your body adjust to the changes. The weight loss will pick back up before you know it!

Buy a good digital scale and start weighing at least all your Protein. When that serving is gone you're done eating. Took me 7 months to get restriction. Also now that you are on solids; what are you chosing? I try to follow the 90/10 rule. Carefully watch what I eat 90% of the time and relax 10%. Also if I would be embarrased for my doctor to see me buying/eating something it does'nt get bought!

This pretty much happens to everyone. Don't worry about it. Right now your body is recovering and this is perfectly normal.

My advise is just start moving when you feel comfortable. Get into a exercise routine as soon as you can and make sure you get your Protein in and the lbs will start to drop...

you didn't gain the weight overnight, and you won't lose it overnight either ;)

      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.
