sodium? hormones? Constipation? Could be any of those. Give it a couple of days and see if it drops again.

I literally just was dealing with the same problem. I'm 7 weeks post op and I stalled because of Constipation. Once I had a bowel movement I lost 5lbs. My biggest problem is that I'm always constipated and I not getting the weight off as fast because of it.

Well LOL we know what you were full of💩And I'm not really making fun of you, you see I also sing in the "When did I poo💩Last "choir. In fact there are times I am guest soloist. My best way through, Miralax twice a day, if no BM after 2 days I resort to liquid Ducolax, if the third day comes and no💩, we call out the Ducolax pills, when they start working you wouldn't to schedule me anywhere except 1 room from my tile and porcelain abode, because I WILL BE ABIDING THERE. You see I drew the trifecta of colonic misery . I am still,on pureed diet with minimal natural Fiber to it, I am getting every day older, well known fact, ageing colons are sluggish and my colon is perfectly happy to stuff and cram until,i get full and then refuses to push things out spontaneously. It thinks it can visit Myrtle Beach or First Lauderdale, but I'm stuck moaning here in Ohio. And after my journey to local hospital for the Milk and Molasses enema,😅oh stop giggling😅 , I literally lost 4.5 pounds. I'm sure in the medical notes it says something like "Lady arrived full,of it, successful evacuation of colon contents" much rather have it say " Frustr8 is a lovely lady and an absolute joy to visit here!" but you know it would be the first. not the nicey one!

      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.
