christa94 0 Posted June 8, 2006 does everyone usually lose weight immediately post op during the liquid phase of recovery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poodles 0 Posted June 8, 2006 From what I have seen, some gain and some lose. I gained on the PREOP diet the first week, then lost 5 lbs the second week. Was banded on Monday and feel like I have lost, but have decided to wait for a few weeks to weigh. Everyone says the liquid diet post op is for healing, not for losing. So that is what I am focusing on. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medussa 0 Posted June 9, 2006 I gained a pound the first week of the pre-op diet and then maintained the second week. I lost 10 in the 2 post op weeks and I got to eat right away...on mushies and soft food pretty quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcbydesign 0 Posted June 9, 2006 When I left the hospital I had gained 9 pounds...poof! I am 17 days post op now nd have lost that Water weight and gone up and down two to three pounds since then. Can you say disappointed? I know, I know...this is the healing time but I can't help but wish I'd suddenly drop five pounds. I drink about the same things everyday...but up and down it goes! I am hoping that perhaps when I am on mushies (Monday - yea!) that this will change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

juliegeraci 7 Posted June 12, 2006 I am 6 days post op and have lost at least 5 lbs. Looks like Water retention and I can tell in my face. Not thinking too much about the weight right now. It just feels good not to be hungry! Liquids aren't so bad after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
