Ok, so I am on day 10 of the liquid pre-op diet. I had lost 15 lbs. as of yesterday. Today, when I weighed, I had gained a pound!! How in the world could this happen?!?!?!

I have been eating (drinking) the same things through this entire pre-op diet. If anything, I have started eating less as the days go on. I have gotten tired of my limited choices.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be going on? I am being banded on Monday!!

Congradulations on your weight loss. Gaining a lb was just the fluctuations in Water weight. Nothing to be concerned about. As long as the trend is down that is what you want.

I only lost 2 lbs on my 2 week liquid diet, so you are doing very well.

Variations of a lb can happen at anytime. You retain Water, you bloat and you gain a lb.

If you'd gained 4 lbs I would say you might have just cause to be worried. Don't be discouraged by a one lb gain. Unless you keep gaining.

Good luck for your surgery!
