weight gain....surgery cancelled?

so when i left dr. roye's office in november, they told me no liquid diet necessary, which is great. they also said not a thing about putting on a few pounds during the holiday season. honestly.....i knew i was going to put on some pounds because of thanksgiving and christmas, but i actually thought i had been pretty good. i have been at the gym, worked out with my trainer, and have been drinking protein drinks. of course, i am a week away from my period, but still. i just weighted myself and i am up 8 pounds. i find it hard to believe, although i did drink somewhere close to one hundred ounces of water today and 84 grams of protein. maybe weighing myself at 7 at night wasn't the best idea. anyway.....would they cancel surgery if i have gained weight? if so, i am drinking nothing bu****er until that bariatric bootcamp meeting next thursday for my final weigh-in and nutrition meeting.

If I were you and you were that worried, I would do the liquid diet until next week.  I have heard that he is really tough if you gain weight.  Drink LOTS of water and I would do the slim Fast shakes.  Maybe have 1 meal per day, (High protein, low carb).  Good luck, let us know how you do.. Jen

Another thing to remember is that if you have been working out with your trainer a lot, muscle weighs more than fat, so take measurements and see if you are slimmer, not weighing less.  The doctor may appreciate that change too. Leslie

I was told (from somewhat of an outsider, yet linked) that if I gained weight, I would not be able to go through with the surgery.  Just to be on the safe side...I would follow through on a liquid diet.  I don't think any doctor would gripe about a few pounds (2-4) as woman have always carried water weight but 8 might be pushing it.  Good luck and I hope all goes well for you.

hi i have Dr. Roye and I'm so sorry to hear they didn't inform you about not gaining any weight. He is very serious about that. On my 2nd visit when I actually got to meet him and get a surgery date I lost 2 lbs. form the initial visit. Then the day of the surgery I was up 2.5 lbs (5 days before surgery was my b-day and my farewell to fat party) He said nothing about the weight gain. I think you'll have no problem from now till your surgery you'll be able to lose a few pounds if you really watch your intake and I agree that you probably are building muscle just explain all this to them if you have a problem at your last weigh-in. Good luck
