Im 16 days post op and down 20lbs.. going for another weigh in on the 17th.. hopefully It will be as good as yours.. everyone is different.. I do know that sometimes you do that.. Dont get discouraged at all.. might be some Fluid retention. could be your body just hasnt adjusted to the new foods you are taking in either.. Im on soft mushy foods.. but only certain ones.. and I cant eat crap at times.. I still have a hard time thinking omg how can I eat a whole cup of food LOL. and when I used to be like grazing and snacking.. I go to the fridge..and look around..and go.. heck I cant eat anything.. no room in my tummy LOL.. thought I would never hear myself say that.. hang in there.. you will start losing again.. give your body some time..

Just keep in mind a pound is 3500 calories. You can't possibly have eaten 10,500 calories to gain the weight on what you've been eating probably.

I do the same calculation & know that soon it will come off. I've been stuck for a week now!

Even though you can tolerate more foods try to stick with Protein Shakes and yogurt for awhile. Until you can exercise regularly your metabolism will be slow. So even a few calories will result in gains if they are not being burned. It took me 6 months to get my appetite where solid food didn't make me sick. That's when the exercise has to be a focus. Even a short walk per day helps. Also light free weights for th arms. As little as 5 pounds workd
