Gain after new food stage



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 19th and, including pre-op, I'm down 12 pounds. I started soft yesterday and gained back a pound. That's totally normal, right?

Get off of those scales. Weighing everyday will drive you nuts and cause you stress. Your weight

can and will fluctuate every day. Weigh once a week and don't stress over it. Our bodies are not a solid blob with a stationary weight, we are made up of a mixture of fluids, tissues, cells and other things that are constantly moving and regenerating. We hold fluid...we release Fluid. That's just part of being a human. You will lose weight as long as you follow the plan so focus on eating and drinking correctly and enjoy the weight loss, don't make it a daily stressful event. You will gain a pound or two from time to time and it is perfectly normal so don't worry about it. Try to enjoy the release from food addiction.

It's probably not a "true" pound. A lot can contribute. Like did you weight your self with different clothes on? Did you way in the morning vs. at night? Are you going to the bathroom that can cause some increased weight. I think to go up and down just a little is normal. I wouldn't worry. You going great.

I'm up half a pound after a few days on puréed. But I'm so dang constipated. I don't think a gain is necessarily reflective of reality. You've got fluctuations to Fluid shifts, you've got changes to metabolic rate, you've shocked your system. I'm going with all that because it's feeling good to see and feel the weight loss. I'm not feeling either with a bloated belly. Wish I had never backed off on my Miralax. I have some work to do to fix "this". :(

      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.
