Amy337 8 Posted December 24, 2012 Has anyone experienced weight gain after Starting Mushies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2muchfun 8,927 Posted December 24, 2012 Gaining weight before you get a fill or several fills is quite common. Until you get some restriction and begin to feel satisfied with less food you are basically still on a diet. It's also easy to gain 2-5 lbs from just retaining fluids. Most of the weight we lose in the first few weeks is only Water anyway. Some patients can lose 30-40 lbs of Water in just a few short weeks, so it's understandable how they can retain a few over a high sodium/high carb intake weekend. tmf 1 sarawray reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy337 8 Posted December 25, 2012 I'm one month post op on the 27th. And since I started eating I gained 7 pounds. I haven't eaten any more than I should.. And have been eating Protein & veggies. Just wondering if I'm the only one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amy337 8 Posted December 25, 2012 I was around like 400 Calories.. Now I'm trying to figure out to get them higher. i just got on solid food Yesterday. I don't have a Nutritionist or Dietitian. Starting to feel lost. All the surgeon gave me was the basic Lap band book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the surgeon gave me was the basic Lap band book. no familar with a book but i would think you should be eating more calories. I was on 1000 a day during liquids and mushies. If it were me I would call the dr... Gaining 7 lbs eating 400 calories a day doesn't sound healthy. Does the dr offer any kind of diet plans? Or can he suggest a nutritionist maybe through the hospital? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amy337 8 Posted December 25, 2012 I see him this week.. I will talk with him. How do you guys get 1000 calories on 3 cups of food? What are you eating?? The only thing I can think of is that I'm eating to much salt & maybe retaining from it & my TOM is just a day or 2 away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
