Justine13 264 Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks but are you only on clear? My doc has me on clear which is why this is happening. I take it lightly and wonder when I do get to eat if I will gain a little? 5 pounds is also great in one week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaredoftheunknown 95 Posted September 19, 2012 My surgery was on the 13th and before I was released from the hospital the dr. graduated me to full liquids which is the creamy Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, shakes.... I have lost 10 lbs. since the day of surgery. OMG!! I can't believe it. 2 Justine13 and FeeIsMe2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready4change77 88 Posted September 19, 2012 Y'all pray for me, I don't seem to be doing as good as all of you guys... My side is swollen & I don't feel I've lost any weight since last Wed.. I can't seem to get many liquids down - today in try'n to get in 2 Protein Shakes & more water... You all are losing so much weight & I don't think I am... Maybe b/c my stomach is swollen & irritated & inflamed... Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you haven't lost any weight now it is probably Water retention, out bodies react differently. I am sure you will start losing according to your body. Hang in there. Hope you can have your Protein today. Prayers going your way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the encouragement Sent from my iPhone using VST[/quote'] Oh honey- that was me a couple days ago and I was dehydrated which is a major risk to surgery. I would 1) call doc and 2) stay on Clear Liquids (if u can add unflavored Protein to your drinks). Please call you doc. I was re admitted overnight for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
