Anyone else gain weight?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 1/21. I lost 13 lbs in the first 5 days but then in the past week or so I have actually GAINED 4 lbs. I'm still on thick liquids- mostly pureed Soups (not cream based) and Beans. I have had some guacamole mixed in with thinned beans but not every day. No juices, regular milk or anything with over 3gm of sugar per serving. I estimated calories a few days and I figure I'm getting 600-700 calories on most days. Compared to how I used to eat (at least 700 calories per MEAL), why would I not be dropping weight? :(

I had my first gain this week. 3 pounds. It's strange because I haven't really changed anything but I have been feeling bloated and constipated. I realize this is an old post I am commenting on but I figured I would say something now that this group is 6 months post op. Maybe I will make a new post for gains.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
