Hey everyone!

I was curious did anyone gain weight after switching from clear liquid diet to full liquids or puree diet? Im nervous because I've switched to full liquids and been drinking high amounts of protein that I gained 2lbs ahhh! Is this normal? =X thanks in advance!!!

I gained 2 lbs at 5 weeks & was in a stall that lasted just over a week. I'm now at 8 weeks & the 2 lbs has come off along with 2 more lbs. I keep a food diary & realized that when I was able to increase my calorie intake to 1,000 it also increased my carbs. I was getting around 80 carbs on most days. I cut back the carbs to under 50 & I started losing weight again. I think carbs are my worst enemy. I also weigh & measure everything. I have found if I just "think" I have the correct amount of food I will over eat & this isn't helpful. Makes me feel like crap. It takes about an hour to get over that feeling.

Basically, it is what you are eating is what that matters the most.If you are taking more of carbs then it is natural to gain weight.Therefore it is very necessary to keep your carbohydrate intake under check.Protein intake is more helpful for you therefore it is always better to make your diet protein rich.

if you are going from clear liquids to full liquids i am assuming that you are immediately post op? if that's the case, it could very well be the 8-12 bags of IV fluid they pump into you during your stay, plus coupled with the fact that the IV fluid has either sodium OR glucose added to it, furthering the gain...
