weight gain after solid foods?

[MrsPositive 5]

Anyone experience this?? I was on liquids extra long due to Chrons disease. Started on foods about a week ago and have gained four pounds!!! I am still losing inches but it is hard to see the scale go up. I am mostly eating Protein (fish, turkey or chicken), then veggies if room. Low on carbs.

Protein Drinks make me want to vomit...although I am going to try some mirilax for some mild Constipation. I am also adding in gym time this week.

I'm sure it will reverse but dog gone I want to see the scale go down again!!!

Joan, I'm not sure about the Crohn's piece of the puzzle, but almost everyone experiences a stall or even a gain at around the 3-4 week mark. I know you're in week 6, but it might be the standard stall just delayed because you had to slow down the progression of your diet. I would say don't freak out--if you're keeping track of what you're eating and you're within the suggested counts, the scale will start moving again, I promise. I thought the same thing when I hit that first point where my body said "What's going on?" and weight loss stopped for 2 weeks, but it started again and has kept going. Hang in there--I think this is your 3-week stall, just on a Crohn's schedule. HUGS, though, cause seeing that scale move up is disheartening when you're doing everything right!!

Thank you MegInOla!!!! It is like something is not right with this picture!! I am eating so little. Lol!! I figured my body must be doing a freak out thing...plus holding onto every morsel of food I give it.

I needed to hear something encouraging though!! God bless ya!!

My body is so weird, it stalls forever, then finally drops but then the next day it bounces back up a few!!!! It will eventually come back down but it really gripes my a$$!! Lol. I have to just avoid the scales, not great for my sanity.

As soon as I started on solid foods, the scale went up! Just a few pounds, then it took a couple of weeks to get back and now I am losing again. Not like the first couple of weeks after surgery but a pound or so a week. I think my body is still adjusting. Hang in there! The hardest part is knowing you're not eating much and watching the scale go up! Ugh! But it will settle up soon. Good luck!
