Just had my EDG this morning and I have gained 10lbs since my initial consult (May 2012)..... This is ridiculous;(.....since I had to do 24 hours of clear liquids I think I am going to start my pre-op diet now (even though I m starving) they say the first 3-4 days are the worst.... My surgery date is 1/3/13. Has anyone else gained weight prior to staring their pre-op? I know it's probably more common for lbs to be coming off than on. I really have a problem and am going to get my act together starting NOW.

girl, i've gained like 13 pounds since my first consult (may 2012) dont feel bad. I still got approved. i know i shouldnt have gained... i like food too much lol

yeah... I lost about 10 lbs but gained it back... I got a drs appt next Friday so I need.to start eating n fasting so Ill llose again... I will b having surgery in February ... and fyi I see u will have Ural in January ..we do have a.facebook group going for January sleevers... if u wanna join let me know

Before I had the operation, I ate so much that I finally felt full. I knew that it would be the last time in my life that I would eat that way. I'm glad I did it because by the time I got the surgery, I was so disgusted with myself I was absolutely ready for the big change.

Well i how u feel i have gained 2 lbs and now i have to do a weight check in Dec. I need to lose at least 15 lbs so i think i will be on a liquid diet starting this Monday. Wish me well.

I paid for my surgery and therefore my wait time was like 2 weeks til I had to start my pre op. in those 2 weeks I ate what I wanted, when I wanted as much as I wanted...I gained 15 pounds!!! My only regret now is if I hadn't done that my number on the scale would be in onederland now...I think this is completely normal response for people who are undergoing this major lifestyle change

You (we) can do this!!! Mind over matter.

Oh my, I went on a favorite restaurant farewell tour...I gained about 10 lbs between my first consult and my pre-op diet...lol

dont worry you will be ok, everyone gained and lost during that time

Oh my' date=' I went on a favorite restaurant farewell tour...I gained about 10 lbs between my first consult and my pre-op diet...lol[/quote']

That's hilarious. A farewell tour...

I gained 20lbs between my first consultation in late September and Monday when I started my pre-op diet. I went out guns blazing, including a week at an all-inclusive resort. Can you say buffet?

Anyway, I started my pre-op diet Monday and I'm already down 10-11lbs. Lots of Water and low carb eating have almost wiped out my indiscretions from the past 2 months.

Yes, I gained 10lbs, and about 20 points to my BP the top and bottom number, they were trying to send me to the ER. That day really put it in perspective for me of what I needed to do because the month before in August was my birthday and I did a bye bye bite to Coldstone creamery ice cream at least 3 or 4 times. The week of my pre-op to the date of surgery(9/27/12) I lost about 27 lbs. and I was hungry and mad the whole week, LOL but you can do it

I have been enjoying food, since it will be a few months before I can eat like anything resembling normal. I don't know how much I have gained... I'm scared to check. But my knees tell me I am at least back up over 250 if not close. At one point I was trying to lose about 10 lbs before I head down for surgery and it just wasn't budging so I gave up. This week I am ramping down on all the eating and prepping to start the liquid diet next Sunday.

I'm sure those 10 and then some will come right off once you start your pre-op prep.
