I just got off Clear liquids diet Friday and weighed 232. Now that I've been eating puree mostly yogurt and Protein Meal Replacement I have gained 3 pounds back. I was sleeved Jan 13. I know... Way too early to worry about much just curious. My starting weight was 248.

Yeah! I just started puree food and I stopped loosing weight. It's a little scary. I'm going to try and walk for longer to see if that helps. Also having trouble getting all my protien in.

Protein shouldnt be hard. Drink your shakes.

i haven't had my surgery yet I am on the pre opp diet and I found a protein mix called GENE PRO 1 tablespoon equals to 30 grams of protein, tasteless and dissolve fast and doesn't thicken your drink. I mix it in 2oz of fluids wether it's coffee or crystal light. Good luck

I guess I am in the 3 week stall. No weight loss week 3 to 4 so far. Have increased walking time to 45 mins per day, but still just a brisk walk.

Took me a little bit to realize that fluctuating weight is not the same as gaining weight. You haven't gained weight.

This is completely normal.

The puréed foods stage usually coincides with the Third Week Stall that 99% of us have gone through. A little weight gain is normal right before a stall due to glycogen storage.

I started my all liquid pre-op diet 272 on 1/17 and lost 18lbs. Day of surgery I weighed 254 and they started me on puréed foods on day 2 at the hospital, came home and weighed 262. I'm now 9 days post-op and I weigh 250. So while it's only 4 lbs down since surgery. I'm also eating three puréed meals a day and drinking my shakes and working up to 64 oz of liquids.
I believe that the puréed food stage does stall the weight loss for a bit. And it's totally normal. My doc said not to worry so I'm not going to worry. Just keep up with getting your liquids and protein in. Exercise once a day or walk or whatever type of movement works for you and you'll be fine.

Sorry. Not trying to be offensive by any means. This is why I don't and won't be weighing myself (I'll let the doc do this). Stalls will happen. Focus on how good you feel and how the clothes are feeling bigger, etc. Focus on doing what the doc has given you to do. Put your mind to other matters than numbers on a scale. Save yourself the stress and headache of worrying. Many blessings on your journey!!!

I really wish you people would listen to the vets

Please understand with as little calories and Protein you're consuming right now, more exercise can be counter productive and cause you to actually hold onto weight.

Exercising more that early out will not help the stall. Keep getting your fluids and protein and just let yourself heal. Walking is great, and keep doing it, but be careful not to go overboard. This is healing time, not weight loss time.

No weightloss since I started the puréed stage its been 2 wks now. Gained 3 lbs overnight, I know it's just water but it's so frustrating.
