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 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.

      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?

      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.
