started mushies and gained weight

[intelirish 714]

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....

No worries....you healing and changing......! I wouldn't even look at a scale for a few weeks. Worry about getting better....drink your water! It WILL work! Lisa

Happened to me too! Trust me the weight will come off. Slow and steady.

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
