My surgery was on Oct 25, surgery weight 274.2. At 14 days post op my weight was 262.6, end of my full liquid diet. Then I started the mushy stage. I am now 17 days post surgery, current weight 265.6. I am 8.6 pounds down. I need help with my weigh loss? Why did I gain weight?

From my experience there isn't a lot of salt In liquids...it's possible that your mushie foods have more salt and you are retaining water.. It may also be that you are getting more calories with Mushies and your body is storing the calories. This is the time to start a good habit of tracking your calories. If you stay between 1000-1200 ( or whatever your dr told you) for a day and stick with the proper portions you should be fine.

I agree, watch the salt and start walking! Pay close attention to the mushies. Some things that go down well are are all that good for you. Try logging your food.

_{the first 4-6 wks is a healing time and not really a weight loss time ( althought its feels great to loos that soon) we all float up and down 5 or so lbs every day that's why you weight on the same sacale and the same time always to get the right weight loss figure.....I know you want to loss but you have and more is coming be patient boy do we all know how hard this is in the beginning......line dancerr}

The first 4-6 weeks it is normal not to lose or even gain. Please, please focus on healing not losing right now. Your body is going through a huge adjustment.

Don t let it mess with your head...you can do this. We all go up and down...I spent a week at the same weight was ready to scream had just started exercising and nothing....honestly I was looking for a dang camera thinking someone was screwing with me..lol.... I got mine over a year ago did not follow rules and did not do well..keep on the wagon...its a bumpy ride but I hear its so worth it...
