Yes I agree Water weight. There is no way you can eat enough calories to gain 6 pounds...unless you ate 3000 sugar cubes. :).

I gained 3 pounds at 6 weeks out and then stalled for a month. No biggie. I didn't stress about it and neither should you. Just part of the process....

At 3 mos. post op I gained and lost the same 4 lbs over and over for a whole month, I added more exercise, but no luck. Finally the scale started to move again and I've lost another 10. I am 4 1/2 months post-op. My Dr. told me to quit worrying about the scale and concentrate on how much better I felt. Just stick with it and you will see results!

      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.
