You need to concentrate on Protein right now so you don't go into starvation mode. Jello is considered a clear liquid. i don't know what stage you are in so I can't say but if you just had surgery on the 18th and you are eating salmon already, that is much different than my doctor allowed. Were you ever on the pureed or mushies? That comes before soft food. You can get alot of protein in on mushies. i am curoious why he has allowed you to go to salmon already, but all doctors are different. Eat about every 3 hours and try cottage cheese, refired Beans are great, lentil Soups in blender. Perhaps you should go back to mushies for a cople days so Ou can get more prtein in. It doesn't sound like you are eating enough so you need to try a little every three hours or so.

When your weight bounces up, it is NOT fat you are gaining. It's physically impossible given what you are ingesting. It is Water retention that will leave you. Promise.

I weigh every day, and i can bank on a pattern of lose 1, gain 2, lose 3. Repeat ad nauseum. You get used to it. But the bottom line is......shrinking!

Im gonna add a Protein drink that's sounding good for mid afternoon snack! I guess I'm not eating enough - does anyone write down what they eat daily? I need some tips! btw thanks for all the encouraging words!

Myfitnesspal.com is excellent for food journaling. A lot of us here use it. There is a smartphone app for it as well, so it is so easy to enter things on the go too

To make sure you are getting the right amount of Protein, it would be a good idea for you to use something like this that calculates it for you. 15lbs down in 15 days is great though...breathe
