What have you been eating?

I gained 4 lbs about week 4 it's taken me 2 1/2 weeks to get it back off and it's continuing to creep downward. Good luck and keep going.

What have you been eating?

Just liquid Proteins and Water

How are you doing with your BMs? Sometimes you can get really backed up. If it isn't that, it is clearly some Water retention issue. You might want to talk with your doctor about it to see if there might be any complications with medications. The one thing you DON'T have to worry about, though, is that you will stop losing weight. It will come off, that is for certain. You aren't capable of taking in enough calories on water and Protein Drinks after surgery to gain weight, much less 8 lbs.

Silver summed it up perfectly. You can't be taking in anything 3 weeks post op to gain 8 lbs. Summer is here(hot), hormonal changes are occurring, BMs are changing, and you are more than likely just retaining. Make sure you get in 64 oz plus of water.

I am 3 wks and 1 day and i did that a few says ago, i gained back 3lbs then started to lose again and have lost a total of 21 lbs as of today. I think talking to my friend and some other people we meet having surgery at the same time that 3 wks there seems to be a hiccup
