Gaining weight once off liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I recently came off my liquid diet. I lost weight. Now I am eating regular foods ( most) and have gained back some of what I lost on the liquid diet!! I am not eating alot and stop before I'm actually full. I will not get my first fill until approx 3 more weeks! I don't understand why I'm gaining when I'm eating only small amounts. HELP!! What can I do till I get my first fill??? Is this what "bandster hell" is??!! Totally sucks! I have a very demanding job and can not stay on liquid diet a day longer cause I feel way too weak and tired. Any suggestions??

That is perfectly normal. We all gain when we move from liquids to solid food. Just be patient and let your body adjust to the changes. The weight loss will pick back up before you know it!

Buy a good digital scale and start weighing at least all your Protein. When that serving is gone you're done eating. Took me 7 months to get restriction. Also now that you are on solids; what are you chosing? I try to follow the 90/10 rule. Carefully watch what I eat 90% of the time and relax 10%. Also if I would be embarrased for my doctor to see me buying/eating something it does'nt get bought!

This pretty much happens to everyone. Don't worry about it. Right now your body is recovering and this is perfectly normal.

My advise is just start moving when you feel comfortable. Get into a exercise routine as soon as you can and make sure you get your Protein in and the lbs will start to drop...

you didn't gain the weight overnight, and you won't lose it overnight either ;)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
