Weight Gain On Liquids



Recommended Posts

its perfectly normal to gain a little after surgery. You had several liters of fluids going in you during surgery, you have swelling and many other factors. Plus, liquids can be high in sodium (especially broths). Dont focus on the scale for at least 3 weeks after surgery, it will just disappoint you.

Hi Tash.. You may have to watch the sodium I was banded on the 21st at surgery I was 235 then day after went to 225 weird huh.. Lol I think it was the scale because the next day it was 233 but I've only had popsicles... Jello... And low sodium broth today at 6 days post op I'm 229. It is so hard for me to get anything in.

I'm about 7 months out and I did gain a few during the first 6 weeks. Its about healing not losing. I didn't actually start to notice a difference in my clothes until 2 months out.

I had gained 5 pounds also after surgery! Its very common... @dropping_weight I had to wait 6 weeks until my first fill.... Im 12 weeks out and i have only had two fills due for another next week.....I had lost most of my 38 pounds in the first 7-8 weeks and now I have been losing like 2 to 3 pounds a week... The band requires alot of patience and hard work...... Im still waiting to get to that green zone.. but im okay with the results this far

      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.
