And people are supposed to do what with that wealth of information? :lol:

If this is the typical post-op freak out it is typical to actually end up weighing more after surgery because of all the fluids you've been pumped up with.

It would be nice if you would have posted more than just "Weight Gain in 3 Days". That doesn't mean much to anyone. Are you pre-op or Post-op? what was your weight when you started, what is it now. What diet are you on?

I have been at the same weight for more than a month now. I have had sinus issues, on meds for that and I am sure they cause weight gain. I am off the meds now and the sinuses are mostly clear so I am hopeful I can start losing again. It can be a slow process, I have learned patience through all this.

I would recommend only weighing once a week (or even less frequent). Your weight can fluctuate a lot day to day due to Water, poo, food you eat, clothing you're wearing, hormones and a lot of other random stuff. Heck - my weight can easily be 3lbs higher morning vs. evening and the week of my period it's always around 4 lbs higher. It is next to impossible to actually gain 6 lbs of fat in 3 days. You would have had to eat almost 21,000 excess calories (1lb = 3500 calories). I would suggest picking one consistent day/time/location and clothes and do that same thing every week. Even with that I sometimes have weeks where I'm a little bit up but it always comes right back off a week or so later. Best of luck to you!

Exactly! Perfectly said. In fact, as gross as this is... I know I've lost 3lbs after I was backed up for a few days! I wouldn't be concerned unless you retain that 6lbs for more than a week or two.

      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.
