I'm hoping it's water retention, I'm going to drink 2 ltr today to see if it makes a difference and also going to have some extra food, maybe some fish with mash? I'm not sure how much sodium would be too much, at the moment myfitnesspal says i've had 931mg of sodium,

@@madadams I'm in Birmingham! Can I ask how many calories you try and stick to?

@@Clarevoyant @@KristenLe @@madadams Thank you all for responding and helping me, I really appreciate it. I should eat more, I just have no idea what to eat, I'm terrified of calories, I'm scared of the fat and the sugar contents, do any of you have ideas of what to eat? I am in the UK madamadams, I'm not very good with measurements.

@@KristenLe Thank you for responding! I get about 55g of Protein a day, I eat the chicken in 2 separate meals, according to MyFitnessPal, I get 286 cals a day and burn off 106 with exercise. Do you think I should add in another chicken breast? I could try drinking more, I don't really know how much 64oz is.

I feel devastated and depressed, for the past 2 weeks (since i started puree/soft food) I have been gaining weight, I eat what I am supposed to, I walk a mile a day and I just don't understand what's going on, the scales keep going up, I drink a minimum of 1ltr of Water a day, I'm not constipated, I eat 2 chicken breasts a day with gravy and that's it, I don't sneak food in, I'm taking my Vitamins, my metformin, I am honestly lost and feeling so sad, did I do all this for nothing? I've not had any meetings with my nurse or surgeon, they haven't even responded to my calls, I know there is usually the dreaded 3 week post op stall, but I just can't understand how I'm gaining, I got down to 13st 2lb and now I'm 13st 7lb, I'm sorry if this is not written well, I just really need some help and someone to talk to, I feel so alone and regretting my decisions.

Hello! I am just over 2 weeks post op and ate some raw carrots, I chewed them up and had no problem, in fact I was pretty proud of managing to eat something but my mother came to me in a panic stating that I could cause a leak and I shouldn't of done it, I am now panicking and have tried to contact my emergency nurse's number, but no one is answering. I feel very ignorant for not knowing the no raw veggies rule and I feel very panicked after my mum's distress, would anyone be able to guide me in what I should do or what happened to them if they ate raw veggies too early? Thank you in advance!
