Ok that's not enough information. What is "normal" to you? What are you eating? Are you tracking your food? How far post op are you? @

I'm only 5 days out and still on the liquid diet, so not tracking right now, but when I advance to soft foods I'll begin tracking at that point. For me it'll be a must,to keep me from slipping or forgetting,and to keep me on track and on schedule.

I am assuming your "normal" food is processed or fast food?

I can tell you why I gained 4lbs since this morning. I had lunch with my parents.

Seriously! They eat high salt, high carb foods. I woke up weighing 211 this morning. Got back at 5pm and was up to 215lbs. It was all the salt and carbs I consumed. When I get back on my normal diet of lean Protein and vegetables - starting tomorrow morning - I will lose those excess Water pounds in a couple of days.

Processed foods and high carb foods trigger my body to hold onto Water and store calories as fat. I have to stick with Protein and vegetables to maintain or lose weight. Even eating too much fruit will cause me to gain weight.

@ Oh good well now you know why you gained weight. You need to get back on track and do what you were doing before. I noticed after losing 100lbs strictly from diet (I never exercised) this last 20-30 isn't going to be as easy. So you may also need to up the exercise. Don't feel defeated just switch it up a bit!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
