Gained 5 Pounds In A Week From Thansgiving:(



Recommended Posts

I have gained any weight in the last 6 months+! How do I get motivated again after feeling so disappointed?

In order to gain 5 pounds in one week, you'd have to consume 17,500 extra calories. That is roughly 2500 extra calories a day for a week.

It's highly unlikely.

Could you have eaten a lot of salt/sodium? Or possibly even your "time of the month" coming?

Salty gravy, salty stuffing, stress of the holiday, TOM??? It seems unrealistic.

All I know is I weighed last Wednesday on the same scale and was five pounds heavier:( period ended right before thanksgiving:( maybe I should weigh again, lol. Idk, I'm really disappointed in myself because I really didn't think I overdid it too much:)

Don't feel guilty!! I dont know how much or if I gained any weight ,but you can rest to sure that we are not the only ones that ate more than we would normally eat. So no stressin and what I do is stay away from the scale until weight in ;)

Ms chocolate, how often do you weigh in? I'm inconsistent. Sometimes it's every 3-4 days or once a week.

It takes a few days for the lbs to catch up.... But today start upping your Water and get back to measuring food and counting calories...before that number becomes insurmountable

I know you didn't ask me. But i will volunteer it.... It I weigh in 2 x a day...morning and night, I know it's excessive but not getting on the scale for the majority of my life got me to 377 lbs...so I figure it doesn't hurt. ;)

I weighed in this week and I lost nothing. The old me would have been tempted to quit. What I do know is I am doing what I am supposed to do and that I won't always lose but I am in for the long haul. I can't expect to lose at once it took a while to put it on.

Stay. Strong and stick to your plan

It's gonna be okay. I've lost 170 in less than 3 years and during that time gained 5 lbs like 15 times. Just get back to what you know works. Be kind and loving to yourself. The big changes come once you decide to really like who you are and stop listening to the shameful voices.

I am right with you. I will be one year out next month and this is the first gain for me. Tomorrow is a new day and we can both start fresh! We can do it. I started on the higher Water intake today. Good Luck girl you can do it!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
