Day 9, gaining....

By Cangel76

So I switch to mushy foods, and I am eating only mushy foods like protein, which I either blend or masticate until it's nothing. I am not drinking with my food. So why is it that I put weight back on? I think it is time to go for a long walk with the kids today. The problem is the muscles in my stomach still get sore.

 

I am a little sad, most people loose like 20-30lbs at this time but it appears my body is going into starvation mode and just storing my food to fat. Is that even possible? Dropping my $20 and application off at the gym and tonight, it is eliptical time.

 

Does anyone know if it is safe to take Senna laxative, I have had loose bowels and now constipated. I was expecting this because of my IBS history, any suggestions?

    That same thing happened to me. After my 3 week liquid diet I went straight to regular food. No mushies. I started gaining all my weight back and then I plateaued for a month. This week I got on the scale and lost the 6 lbs. I guess it is our bodies adjusting to the surgery. My dr's office told me to take Colace. I had my surgery 9/22 and still get constipated. Colace and I are very good friends now. It really works.

    I think its the change in diet. The same happened to me once I started eating. Once I started excercising (light aerobics like the wii) I lost it immediately.

    I also started being constipated and Colace & Myralax were recommeded to me & safe to take daily. Good Luck!!!
