So, for the first time since my surgery, I gained weight this week. I gained 2.6 pounds. I know what I did though. I didn't track one day, and I over ate another day. I also didn't drink enough Water or eat enough Protein. Onward!

Yeah...welcome to maintenance. ;) It's too early for you to be here yet. Good that you know where you derailed and it's a learning experience. And sobering...

Get back at it girl!

Don't stress, it is highly unlikely that it is fat. Plenty of things effect the numbers on the scale. Fat gain and loss is really what we are all watching for, because it is unnecessary storage. Other fluctuations will happen regularly. Kudos on catching the pattern and repairing it quickly.

(I gain and lose every month. The joys of womanhood lol)

Safe Journey!

I'm still in week 1 and I know I have not gotten my Water in nor my 60gm of Protein daily. The Protein has come pretty close,but I'm wondering if it will impede weight loss or if the weight will just come off anyway?

If you're in your first week, just focus on doing your best. It's tough to get enough Water and protein in at first, cause you're still healing. Just do the best you can to get what your doctor recommends. I did see a loss my first week, but not everyone does. If you don't, it doesn't mean that it's not working; it just means that your body is still healing.

177 pounds down! Onward!!!!!!

Minor set back. First gain on the scale can mess with you a bit. Don't beat yourself down. Dust yourself off and get back to plan. Be consistent.

Crazy to know how fast a gain can happen. I eat off plan, It shows up on the scale three days later.

A little motivation for your day.

LOL! Thanks, @FluffyChix! I'm not letting it get me down. I can't get upset about a small gain. I've just got to get back to doing what I know works!

      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.
