You are retaining water and swelling. I gain 5 lbs the first week i was home after surgery. try to get in all your fluids you should try for at least 72 oz of water per day and try to walk even if it is just for 15 minutes at a time sip sip walk walk it really makes a difference

I buy the isopure zero carb drinks online thru the vitamin store, they are cheaper online and once you sign up for rewards they will send you 20 % off coupons. When i was on my full liquid diet it included soups, yogurt and puddings. I like baritric advantage wonderslim shakes and puddings i found it much easier to eat the pudding than drink the shake. I also use broths chicken or vegtable when making the unjury protein soups

I have blue cross personal choice also. I am scheduled with dr. Williams on thursday 10/31/13. I got my approval as soon as i finished my tests. The process will take at least 4 months because of the 3 required medical weight management classes. I had my final weight management and psych eval on 08/29 and got my approval Oct 8. The office took care of everything. Good luck
