I just started soft foodsI'm sticking with the Dr's plan and I'm worried. I started at a lower weight and my surgery was a revision from the lap band. and two days of it and I've gained 4 lbs. Is this normal?

How far post-op are you? The gain could be from swelling, adjustments to your diet etc. Could also be from adjustments to your medications.

Shrinking peach, its been 3 weeks tomorrow. I'm counting calories and Protein. And its about 750 to 850 calls a day and 60 grams of protein. Is it just because I'm now on soft foods?

What kinds of things are you eating? I find if I even look at a carb that doesn't come from veggies or fruit the scale jumps up a couple of pounds. As soon as I cut them out it goes right back down.

Hockeyfan, I started a food journal today to see what exactly I'm eating. I hope it helps and I get back on track.

I had such a bad experience with my lapband for 5 years that I am so worried about this surgery and how I progress. Thank you for the responses!

      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...

        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.
