Soft foods/weight gain?

[PSRS520 75]

Last week on Friday I moved to "soft foods", since then I feel like I'm gaining weight. Is this the normal feeling? I'm still eating way way less than before, any advice wld be great, thx

You may very well be gaining some weight. It's not about how much less you are eating than before, it's about introducing food back into your diet after being on nothing but liquids.

Don't worry about gaining/losing weight..not this early on. Just follow your doctor's plan for you and I promise, you will lose weight.

Good luck.

I didn't gain weight on soft foods but I didn't really lose much either, try not to stress over it. I ate a whole tub of cottage cheese when i was allowed back on them

I take i you just had surgery? And you're referring to post-op?

If so, Why would you not gain weight?

Pre-op we have to starve ourselves. in my case a 2 week diet of shakes only....then the surgery, after wards Clear Liquids, then mushies, etc, etc....

Eventually you will get back onto normal solid foods, and of course your body will want to return to where it was prior to surgery...as you get healthy and heal, your weight will return....

Ir has nothing to to do with the band...not yet...you simply had it installed, nothing else.

After you get back on your feet, eating solid foods again, all healed up from surgery,...THEN your Dr. will start the REAL weight loss regieme - protocol...and even then, for most people, it can take months until until that happens.

Just follow your Dr.'s advice and instructions. It will happen for real and permanently!
