How did I gain so fast?



Recommended Posts

I lost 14 pounds since the day of surgery (June 15th) and I just checked my weight just now and gained 5 pounds? How could this be if I'm only drinking Water and not eating anything? I'm still on the liquid diet.< /p>

Any advice on how to maintain losing weight and not gaining so fast?

Wow 14 pounds in 3 days?! Amazing. Don't panic. It's not real weight. Your body is just adjusting. It will go away very quickly. As long as you are following the rules - Protein shakes, Water, etc. - you haven't done anything that could have caused that.

I'm still trying to get my Protein Shakes in, but other than that, I've only been drinking Water and having broth and Jello. I was scared that I was going to have to cut back on the jello now???? Thanks. I really do hope I don't have anything to worry about, I get paranoid a lot lol

Someone else posted about the exact same thing about the same time you did and I posted about it back when it happened to me. No worries. Get that Protein in. It is important for healing!

Just your body adjusting. No worries. There is no physical way you can gain 5 pounds from Jello :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
