I didn't personally experience it, but it's not an uncommon occurrence. Every couple of days someone post with a similar experience. Just continue to follow your program. Your body is still adjusting to a lot of new changes.

Yep, gained 3 pounds at six weeks out and took a month to lose. No worries. Just stick with the program and your overall weight will be downwards.....I promise.

Just keep up with the Protein, liquids, staying within your NUTS recommended calorie counts and getting in some exercise the best you can. I think it is normal to go up and down sometimes, or sometimes stall.

There are lots of reasons why you might 'gain'.

Have you pooped daily?

Did you eat stuff with lots of sodium yesterday?

Did you keep track of everything you ate?

Put the scales away for a week, keep to the plan, drink lots of Water, keep to Protein first, low carbs and weigh yourself in a week. It's annoying when you gain but honestly as long as you are sticking to the plan, it will come off! Best wishes!!

As long as you are adhering to your guidelines it's okay. Your body will adjust and the downward trend will kick back in. Don't let the scale be your guiding light.

      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.
