I have spoken with the psychiatrist surgeon and nutritionist they said not to weigh myself but I feel like I am consuming more than I am suppose to this is so frustrating nothin satisfies me.

I don't mean to laugh,but I told my surgeon the exact same thing ! I gained weight at my first appointment and I told him "if this keeps up,I want my money back !" ...LOL He said don't worry about it - your body will adjust and you'll start losing . They pumped me FULL of liquids in the hospital , too . I guess I just had to play the waiting game. Are you writing down what you eat ? Sometimes it helps to see things in black and white so you can figure out what's happening.

I recommend logging every that you eat, specifically calories. If you do, then what does it look like comparing the two months? When I get frustrated because of weight gain, for example Water weight, I am aware that I can easily fall into the old habit of feeling defeated. Now I look at my calorie intake and determine whether it is real or just water weight. It is a way not only to make sure the weight will continue to come off (or maintenance in my case), but also, keep me sane from self-defeating feelings. and actions that usually follow Like if I am eating 1300 calories according to my journal, week to week, and one day I gain 5 lbs., I know there is no way that the 5 lbs. I gained is fat and it must be water weight. So it gives me guidance, accountability and more importantly, peace of mind.

log everything you eat. Weight loss surgery is a tool - you have to make sure you're doing your part of it, or it's not going to work. And yes - it's work and it's hard. But the difference is, with this tool, your hard work will actually pay off. But unlike what naysayers say, this isn't "the easy way out". If you're having difficulty sticking to your clinic's eating plan, then make an appointment with them. The dietitian and/or health psychologist can be of a lot of help (and if they don't have dietitians or psychologists on staff, they can probably refer you to one)

also - yes - like the other commenter said, temporary "gains" from Water weight or full intestines aren't unusual. But if this "gain" lasts more than a couple of days, look at what you're eating and make sure you're complying with your clinic's guidelines.

and btw - Hair loss after surgery is very common, but it's temporary. It'll grow back.

Thanks do you think it’s to late if I have messed up. I fear I have stretched out my stomach I know it’s only been 3 months but I never thought I have any weight gain especially not this early. However it wasn’t the same scale but I know my clothes fit a little snugger then the week before. I also was on birth control that gave me crazy side affects

I will agree with logging what you are eating and reviewing that. I have not myself gained, but when I felt I didn't loose enough in a week, I realized I was either short on Protein or Water those days. Also exercising will change your weight on the scale as you retain liquid for muscle recovery.

it's not too late - you're still in what they call the "honeymoon stage".

and you probably didn't stretch out your stomach. From what I've heard/read, that would take constantly overeating over a long period of time. You're probably just used to eating however much you're eating now, so it could be a bit of a challenge to start eating less again. But once you're used to eating a smaller amount, it'll be easier.

It's never too late. You can do this.

Go back to the basics and communicate with your team about this. Be honest with both them and yourself about what you are actually eating and how much.

I also agree with @catwoman7 that you have likely not stretched out your stomach; you would have needed to have been eating way past your capacity for probably longer than you've even been post-op.

      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.
