I went up 3 lbs yesterday ugh.... BUT I have increased my Water today and stayed only on my Protein Drinks and i managed to drink a liter of water an now starting on a second one I have read on other peoples post that if u go up on the scale the best thing to do is increase your water and increase the Protein so that is what I am gonna do all weekend and weigh Monday to see where I am at . I am 1 week and 1 day post op. SW-224 CW-209 I was 206... Hope this works .

Hi Missdixie- I had surgery on 2/18 and have the exact same stats as you. I went up two lbs yesterday but back down 1 today. I think I have to stop weighing myself- although in the back of my head I just want reassurance that this is working. I don't feel a difference in my clothes either- but I think I'm still somewhat swollen.

...it's very frustrating but it's gotta work- we are hardly eating anything!!! What are you eating for Protein? I'm so sick of shakes and starting to think about "real food". Lol. Good luck to you!!

Hey chicagirl- I am only doing my EAS Protein Shakes . Yesterday I was able to graduate to the creamy Soup, yogurt,grits stage an the only thing that agreed was the creamy soup and I had 2 cups , Protein shakes (1) an no Water and gained weight . Who knows. I know it will be a good thing when I can move on an eat healthystuff loaded with protein and not hurt when it goes down an know that it's safe to eat. My clothes are fitting loose mabey we are losing in inches chicagirl .
