started mushies and gained weight



Recommended Posts

I know right now i shouldn't be too concerned or worried about where the number on the scale is especially considering i'm not even 2wks post op yet.. BUT... i started eating mushes this weekend and have been in heaven with the scrambled eggs, cauliflower etc etc but this morning show'd that i had actually gained weight. Firstly i was shocked at how much that gain affected me all i wanted to do was to climb back into bed and hide.

i'm sure i'm not alone and this weight fluctuation is perfectly normal as my body adjusts but it was still quite shocking to see a number i was never expecting....

Don't panic some will be Fluid, some will be glycogen stores as you did hellish pre op diet. Its quite common to gain at this stage (so I've read) mushies seem reasonably calorific.. Get healed first then watch those scales go down....

Same thing is happening to me (11 days post op)- I'm trying to ignore that part & listen everyone's advice. This is a time for healing & I also remind myself that I have lost 11 inches & that hasn't fluctuated ... Hang in there, I feel your distress

      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.
