Has anyone experienced weight gain after Starting Mushies?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
