Hi, I had my surgery March 9, 2007. I lost 15lbs. since then but I have gained 2lbs. Since beginning mushies and partly solids. I am following the plan. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it just be a fluke and it will come right off or do I need to worry? Thanks. Lisa

You have several feet of intenstinal tract that were mostly empty while you were on liquids.

Once you start eating food again, those several feet fill up - they are not normally ever empty - so those are the pounds you have gained. Think about how much 8 feet of sausage might weigh... Don't panic. Its normal.

Good luck on the rest of your journey.

Hugs!

Remember too that you are in the healing phase. You won't have restriction of your food intake until you start having "fills". That is when you will start to have steady losses.

And mushies tend to be very high in calories. Many people gain during the healing phase it's ok
