Pre-Op Liquid Weight Gain?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am 5 days into my 8 day diet and I lost 17 lbs so far but this morning I gained one pound. I have remained faithful to a tee on the diet.

Is this happening elsewhere??

Forgive my vulgarity but I haven't been using the restroom, perhaps in need of a laxative?

You can loose and gain as much as 5lbs in a day . I would suggest not weighting your self but weekly right now .

I had my surgery on 11-14 an weighted myself daily at first, But once the loosing stopped I stopped weighting, its too frustrating . But its normal to lose and gain more than you think . The pre op diet is more about shrinking your liver more than anything, so just keep what your doing .

Yeah I would say that this is just Water weight gain / not "fat" gain. no worries. I give you props for sticking to the liquid diet to a T! I wasn't able to !

Oh thank you, ladies. I loathe every minute of it. I can't stand how the Protein Shakes taste and everything including Water tastes awful now. The worst part is just feeling immense hunger. Xanax has been my best friend. I want to cheat but I'm afraid they'll open up and see. I'm a weirdo lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
