When I weighted myself a few days ago I had lost 17 pounds. Today Currently in the hospital waiting to be called for my post up apt. I have been weighed and have gained 3 pounds back. I do admit I getting my Protein is starting to be a pain for me as i've felt a bit nauseas and it disgusts me. I have my post up apt with surgeon and dietician right now. I will update on what they tell me regarding this, but has this happened to anyone?

Don't panic. All scales are different first (especially if you are weighing at home without clothes and now you have clothes on - hopefully anyway :D ). Also, not sure how far post-op you are, but 17 pounds is amazing. Many gain right after surgery due to swelling and fluids from surgery and then nearly everyone hits a stall at 3 weeks because your body is adjusting. It's all part of the process. You are doing great. Hang in there!

Oh and what are you using for Protein? Have you tried the Premier Protein ready to drink shakes? They are really good. Only 11 oz and 30g of Protein. Highly recommend them if you haven't. For powder I use Precision Engineered whey Protein Isolate (be sure to get Isolate). The chocolate is great and the vanilla is too (and it smells heavenly). I add 1/2 scoop of Protein Powder to greek yogurt in addition to using them to make shakes.< br />

Today i'm 2 weeks post up. At the beginning i was using whey isolate cherry flavor and Isopure banana cream 0 carbs; however i got bored of the flavors so went shopping for the already made on the go shakes. I have tried Atkins shakes bought at CVS 15g Protein. My pouch seems to be bored (nausea) of them as well. I've seen premier brand at CVS too, but never though I vould have those post up. Wow! they have a good amount of Protein so I'll be buying some of those. Yesterday I ordered flavorless Protein Powder online to mix with foods so hopefully I can mix with the yogurt and other foods. I have also tried Carnation brand protein powder which they give you while in the hospital, but they are way to sweet 7g sugar to me or maybe it was just a temporary taste I rejected at first.

At my post up apt today my dietician approved me for stage 4 now makes me so happy. I am now allowed to have foods! Healthy high protein sugar free and low fat foods. Later today for dinner i'll be having fish and see how that goes. Of Course i will still have to take Protein Shakes to meet my daily protein intake.

Hope premier has chocolate

I love chocolate flavor.

@@yami17leth - Glad you got your foods progressed! It's amazing how much better you will feel with that! And yes, Premier does have chocolate. At almost 11 months post-op, I still have one everyday and look forward to it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
