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.

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 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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
