3 week post op on reg food

[omgitstisha 1]

Help!!! I converted from Lapband to bypass 3wks ago and at my 2wk appt my doc ok'd me to have Wendy's chili and chicken and ground turkey etc as long as I chewed it well. I'm assuming she transitioned me because I had a previous surgery. However, preop included I lost 39lbs but since real food I'm back up 4lbs. I know about the 3 week stall but wouldn't I had lost more staying on liquids/ purée/soft food stage longer. I feel like my doc sabotaged me. Anyone else transitioned early per doc and gained?

4 pounds is such a small amount that I would say most or all of those pounds are Water (now that you're taking in salt again) and just food that's being processed through your digestive system after it being so empty for weeks. These and many more will go away soon! I know it's discouraging when you just want to lose as much as possible as fast as possible, but your doctor almost certainly knows what she is doing. Try not to obsess about it and instead make sure you're doing everything you need to do - water/liquids, Protein, Vitamins, and getting good rest. This will pass. Hang in there!

I would always stay away from fast food. Too many hidden sugars and fats. Time to take control and responsibility for what you are choosing to eat. People here will tell you go back to your basics, drink your Meal Replacement shakes and be sure you are drinking enough Water. Add soft foods slowly that you cook yourself so you know exactly what is in the food. You are going to do great. Remember to move your body doing things you enjoy.????
