Ppandarr got a reaction from FDclerical in 12 days post op and gaining?
I had this happening to me too, my Dr said that my body is getting used to the lack of calories and sustaining itself on top of that so soon after the operation I can only assume you're not having regular bowel movements either this contributes too.
When you're cleared for exercise the weight will start dropping off because the small amount your consuming will also be burning off. I know it's hard but be patient when you're first out you'll drop weight but it will slow down and start up again. It's annoying but that's our bodies way of coping with such a drastic change.
Hang in there!

Ppandarr reacted to anonmom in How can I know if my liver is fatty?
I keep hearing that the purpose of the pre-op diet is to shrink/soften the liver, but I can't get a clear answer on how you know if your liver even needs this.
My blood work all came back normal. I "only" weigh 222 pounds, with a BMI of 40. From what I can reason out, my liver is already softer and more pliable/movable than the liver of someone who weighed 300+ pounds for years, but have managed to lose 20 or 30 pounds with a pre-op diet.
