weight loss during the liquid phase

does everyone usually lose weight immediately post op during the liquid phase of recovery?

From what I have seen, some gain and some lose. I gained on the PREOP diet the first week, then lost 5 lbs the second week. Was banded on Monday and feel like I have lost, but have decided to wait for a few weeks to weigh.

Everyone says the liquid diet post op is for healing, not for losing. So that is what I am focusing on.

Good luck!

I gained a pound the first week of the pre-op diet and then maintained the second week. I lost 10 in the 2 post op weeks and I got to eat right away...on mushies and soft food pretty quick.

When I left the hospital I had gained 9 pounds...poof! I am 17 days post op now nd have lost that water weight and gone up and down two to three pounds since then. Can you say disappointed? I know, I know...this is the healing time but I can't help but wish I'd suddenly drop five pounds. I drink about the same things everyday...but up and down it goes! I am hoping that perhaps when I am on mushies (Monday - yea!) that this will change.

I am 6 days post op and have lost at least 5 lbs. Looks like water retention and I can tell in my face. Not thinking too much about the weight right now. It just feels good not to be hungry! Liquids aren't so bad after all.
