You might be retaining Water. Have you stopped some maintenance medication?

I had my surgery on August 15 2017. I was 251. Day of surgery 236. After surgery I gained weight, I went back up to 245. But I wasn’t worried because after surgery most people retain Fluid. It’s traumatic for the body and the body doesn’t want to be rid of fluids in case the fluids are needed. I’m a nurse and I see this a lot in almost all post surgical patients. You will start to lose when your body comes out of the initial shock. It’s been 6 months and I’m 189.0lbs as of this morning. Trust me. It will fall off. You’ll stall. And then it will fall off again. Give it Time. 😁 good luck!!

      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.
