Ok I was doing my Protein Shakes 3x day with 3dairy supplements. Kept getting sick everytime i went out so Dr advanced my diet to Puree a few days early. NOW I know I am NOT suppose to weigh myself daily in these first few weeks, but I just CANT HELP IT! :D The scale is going in the WRONG direction! It's just a few pounds but, it this normal?? I mean does this happen to EVERYONE when you go from liquids and return to real food? I am only eating 3 oz of Protein and 2 oz of vegg/ or fruit 3x a day and 3 servings of dairy ( i choose lowfat milk) . I calculated my caloric intake and it is between 825- 950 daily. I am getting my fluids in (min 80 oz) & protein ( 79- 99gm). So WHAT IS HAPPENING????? I even took a 30 walk yesterday on the treadmill, since I FINALLY felt good enough to start exercising. ANY advice or words of encouragement would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. THanks fellow bandsters!

It's normal. You're going from liquids to solids. It happens to most everyone.

I am in the same position. I am on "soft foods" and I've lost maybe 2-3 lbs in the last 2 weeks. According to everything I've read here, and what the doctor told me, this happens to everyone. I know I should be happy I'm losing anything, but I also totally get your frustration. It was just so exciting the first few weeks - losing 5+ pounds a week! I was on a total high, and now I feel let down... Logically I know everything is working as it should, but emotionally I'm still kind of down... Just have to keep our chins up and make it through these weeks as our bodies get used to "food" again!

Good luck!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
