Who gained weight during the "mushy" stage



Recommended Posts

Did you experience weight gain during this stage? When did it turn around for you? I've noticed a 1.5lb change this week since I graduated to mushy's :tt1:

I lost a pound every day for one week straight while on the post-op liquid stage and I was so excited but not for very long I gained all 7lbs. back once I started the mushie stage and increasded my calories back to 1200 - 1500 calories. I have lost some weight since the surgery I do not have any restriction yet but I know some lose slower than others. Lisa.

I lost during both liquids and mushy stages... but less than 1/2 as much during the mushy stage-- and there was a LOT of up and down on the scale from day to day. I'd be up a pound for a few days, then down again..

So- give it time. No worries!

I gained on mushies, once I started getting fills I started losing 2 pounds a week, now as I get closer to goal I am losing .5 to 1 a week. Everything will kick in when you start getting restriction. Be sure and only eat 1 cup of food at a time, so you will be use to it when the fills start. Good luck.

I'm finishing up week 3 and have been on mushies for about two weeks now....I lost 20lbs the first week post op and then went on mushies and only lost 2lbs that week. I think alot of it had to do with the fact that I was eating Potato Soup (put through a blender) like 3 meals a day; and I went back and looked and I was taking in almost 3 times the recommended amount of sodium everyday...so I think I was retaining some water...i went back to more liquids than mushies this week and have really been monitoring my sodium intake...I weigh in on Monday and will know one way or the other if my theory is correct...I think it is because I feel and can see a difference from last week... :tt1:

i am two weeks out and started mushies on wednesday. i thought that being on mushies might slow the loss but oddly enough i have lost three pounds since wednesday. i dunno if this is just a fluke or if it will continue but i sure hope it does. i've been getting alot of Protein in though. doing lots of scrambled eggs and pureed meats. not sure if that would make a difference, but it might.

I am worried about gaining on the mushie stage as I am only getting about 200cals a day at the moment. So surely it must go up when that increases? But hopefully I will be able to exercise by then so maybe that will help.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
