Why Have I Gained Weight At 3 Weeks Post Op?

[LDallas 108]

Surg wt 300...wt last week 277. Then no loss. Today, i am up to 281!!!! Help!! I'm on purees but only eating 1/4c or less, and it's very basic stuff. My plan doesn't allow tomatoes, cheese or "anything" you can puree. I dont eat canned Soups.

Normally i take a Fluid pill for BP but have not since sleeved. Surgeon says not to. I wonder if this is just Water wt?? Can't see how it could be real weight gain!! What should i do? Thank you.

So maybe its the lack of the diutretic causing the increase in weight.The stall is normal for 3 weeks.When I dont take my BP tablet I am up 5 pounds in 2 days easily.

Or maybe it is just the transition back to food that cuased it.

Dont weigh to often now.You will lose weight but you might also go stark raving mad,like I did if you allow the scale to dictate your progress.

Cannot be fat,so dont worry too much about it (difficult,I know)
