Gaining at 3 months post-op! How? Why?



Recommended Posts

What am I doing wrong? Seeking advice, I’m 3 months post-op and have been in a 5lbs flux for over a month. Up and down, finally saw some movement last week when I forgot to take my Protein Shakes for a couple of days but as soon as I started them up again I gained. Has this happened to anyone?

Always, especially early on. Stress, Water, lack of sleep, even eating too much (which is almost impossible at 3 months but it can be done, I guess), can contribute to weight fluctuations. Don’t focus on that scale number but measurements as much as possible. Remember you’re still in the healing phase too. Stick to your program... It’ll drop.

I would schedule an appt with your dietitian or nutritionist asap. If you aren't already, make sure you log your food & exercise. That will help you & your Dr or nutritionist identify any areas of concern.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
