Weight Gain On Liquids



Recommended Posts

its perfectly normal to gain a little after surgery. You had several liters of fluids going in you during surgery, you have swelling and many other factors. Plus, liquids can be high in sodium (especially broths). Dont focus on the scale for at least 3 weeks after surgery, it will just disappoint you.

Hi Tash.. You may have to watch the sodium I was banded on the 21st at surgery I was 235 then day after went to 225 weird huh.. Lol I think it was the scale because the next day it was 233 but I've only had popsicles... Jello... And low sodium broth today at 6 days post op I'm 229. It is so hard for me to get anything in.

I'm about 7 months out and I did gain a few during the first 6 weeks. Its about healing not losing. I didn't actually start to notice a difference in my clothes until 2 months out.

I had gained 5 pounds also after surgery! Its very common... @dropping_weight I had to wait 6 weeks until my first fill.... Im 12 weeks out and i have only had two fills due for another next week.....I had lost most of my 38 pounds in the first 7-8 weeks and now I have been losing like 2 to 3 pounds a week... The band requires alot of patience and hard work...... Im still waiting to get to that green zone.. but im okay with the results this far

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
