Gaining...

[leighw 12]

I am almost one month out. Feeling very good and back to normal. I have been tracking my calories etc on "my fitness pal" (keeping calories well under 1500) and been walking (could walk more but hard to find the time). I had lost 15 lbs after the initial liquid/soft foods stage but almost as soon as I started normal foods, I quickly gained back 5 lbs. Needless to say, I am so upset. I haven't had a fill yet (1st fill scheduled july 31st) but I have been feeling some restriction so I am eating much less. I know my doc said my weight loss would slow down until my first fill but he didn't say anything about gaining. Has anyone experienced this as well?

It is very normal. I didn't gain but stayed the same for almost a month after starting a normal diet. It takes your body time to reset itself again. Realize you didn't gain 5 pounds of fat. Most of that you lose at first is Water anyway. Just be patient and it will work itself out. It's a slow process!

Thank you... I do feel like my metabolism is totally messed up. I need to stop weighing myself! Thank again.
