Full liquids...should I gain weight?

[waitingtiljan 0]

I was banded Jan 30th...I just got on full liquids this past Tuesday. So what I'm eating is 1/2 c grits and V8 for Breakfast. 1/2 to 1 cup creamed Soup for lunch. Yogurt for a snack. Then 1/2 to 1 cup creamed soup for dinner. I drink Crystal lite, V8 and Water all day long. I lost 19 pounds the 2 weeks after surgery. 27 total 2 weeks before and after surgery. I've gained 8 pounds back. Is this normal? Is it water?? What is it?? On the paper the doctor gave me, it listed all these foods and then for calorie intake it says 1700 a day!! I'm no where near that! Why have I gained? I'm not stressing because I know this isn't the time to lose, but why so much gain???

Thanks!

It just worries me. I'm not eating high calorie Soups or drinking anything with sugar. Ughh....I guess I can't expect anything until a fill! Thanks!

I'm in Brooksville. I went to Dr. G in Zephyrhills.

Somewhere I'm reading to keep calorie count around 800 for 36 months after surgery. I think 1700 is high. I know I won't be doing sugar.
