Weight Gain Since Starting Purée Meals...what Am I Doing Wrong?



Recommended Posts

What's your carb intake? Until I dropped mine below 20grams a day I wasn't losing weight. Also at 3 weeks out you ARE in the infamous 3 week stall, but gaining 15 pounds is a bit odd. Are you retaining fluids? Are your bowel movements normal? (Yeah, no privacy on this forum! Lol)

Sure! My Fitness Planner is a really good program. You can use your phone or computer. Many of us are on it from here.

If you aren't peeing enough and your ankles start to swell are good signs of retaining Water.

Crystalite: 15 lbs is quite a significant gain, especially after being sleeved. Have you called your surgeon's office? Please call them and let us know what's going on. That's not right. I could see maybe 5 lbs, but not 15. :o

I am still unable to lose anything more. I had sugery in Mexico so I do not have a Dr locally. I am wondering if I should see a NUT on my own. Its been close to 2 weeks since I hit the stall and I wlak at least 30 min a day and calories are under 500 total. To go thru all this for nothing is hard.

Shamrock, do you have a nut or doctor that is local for you? Sounds like it would be good to pay them a visit..

      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!!
