I would try adding Protein Shakes at least two a day. Your body is probably in starvation mode.

Do you think Maybe I'm retaining everything I eat and the Water I drink because I'm not getting enough protien in? I hope that's the case.. Thanks I'll drink them even though I want to gag lol

I agree, need to drink the protein!

It is the most important.

How much are you consuming of the refried Beans? even though they are good for you , they are high carb's. tofu? does tofu have any nutritional value? Look at what you are consuming..and walk...no empty calories..

I do 4 oz of the beans and the tofu I put in my Soup for the protien.. I can't really tolerate meat yet but I'm going to try.. Some, and I've been walking at the park with my pups every other day.. I will up it to everyday now

Whatever weight you've gained, it's not fat. (not this early out!). You are probably retaining Fluid. The best way to "let it go", is to keep on drinking. Pay attention to the salt content of your food. Aim for around 1500-2000mg a day. Coconut Water will help with electrolytes.

And check your scale. It could be inaccurate too. Step on it several times in a row, and see if it weighs you the same each time.

Make sure you scale is working properly. How often do you weight yourself ?

      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.
