How did I gain so fast?



Recommended Posts

I lost 14 pounds since the day of surgery (June 15th) and I just checked my weight just now and gained 5 pounds? How could this be if I'm only drinking Water and not eating anything? I'm still on the liquid diet.< /p>

Any advice on how to maintain losing weight and not gaining so fast?

Wow 14 pounds in 3 days?! Amazing. Don't panic. It's not real weight. Your body is just adjusting. It will go away very quickly. As long as you are following the rules - Protein shakes, Water, etc. - you haven't done anything that could have caused that.

I'm still trying to get my Protein Shakes in, but other than that, I've only been drinking Water and having broth and Jello. I was scared that I was going to have to cut back on the jello now???? Thanks. I really do hope I don't have anything to worry about, I get paranoid a lot lol

Someone else posted about the exact same thing about the same time you did and I posted about it back when it happened to me. No worries. Get that Protein in. It is important for healing!

Just your body adjusting. No worries. There is no physical way you can gain 5 pounds from Jello :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
