I'm 5 days Post Op. gained 13 lbs when I was released from hospital. Full of Fluid. I woke up this morning back to my pre surgery weight. Took five days to get rid of all the fluid they pumped into me. On clear liquid diet and am so hungry. Is this normal? I'm getting worried. I'm not sure I can make another week feeling this hungry.

Don't know if this will help, but I started adding more fat to my diet and that has really helped with satiety. I am a year out, so that is a consideration also. I am reading about which fats I want to include as there is a lot of old and new information out there.

Girllllllll I am 6 days post op and I have been thinking about food non stop! I've been thinking and craving food so much it almost turned into a game with my fiancé where I just call out what I am craving that minute. Plus my girls gotta eat and I am strong enough to where I don't have to run and hide when some eats around me but damn. I just keep telling myself the horrendous consequences of even sneaking a bite a this stage and I remind myself how if I stay honest on this diet I will reap the rewards. 6 days out and down 20lbs so I don't want to be the reason why that goes back up. You will be ok! [emoji173]️

Good new is I'm not as hungry on week five. Eating between 500 and 600 calories and 60 grams protein. One day at a time. Congrats on 20 lbs. that's great.

Awesome! Won't lie I am excited to be able to eat some
Nice healthy foods! And thank you very much! [emoji173]️ how is everything at 5 weeks out?

I'm 5'6" 64 years old and weight on surgery day was 201. Five weeks post op and I'm only down 10 lbs. I just weighed and am 191. So you should be very happy with you 20 lbs.
