Calorie intake still very low and yet I'm picking up weight! Intro to soft foods

How did you experience this? Did you pick up weight initially? My daily intake is still under 800 calories but I am still picking up as I introduce soft foods (veggies, eggs etc)

Any hints, tips or insight as to why ones weight could jump up as foods are introduced and did it rectify itself?

When was your surgery? I didn't really start to lose until week 4 because of swelling and stuff. I was told to stay as close as I can to 500 calories per day. 500 wasn't enough so I upped to 600-700 and started losing. And I stopped losing rapidly when I didn't take in around 60mg of Protein per day. Doc said protein promotes healing and weight loss. I hope that helps!

How much protein, carbs, fat, and water are you taking in each day? Without much to go on, I suspect you need to drink more water. If you are just now advancing to soft foods, you're a very recent post op. Put down the fork and pick up the water glass. Get at least 64 oz and wait 15 minutes after drinking before eating and one hour after eating before drinking.
