Okay so I have a question I'm sure has been answered before but why do u gain wait when your not consuming more than 1200 calories A day? I don't know how it's Water when im only drinking 4-6 glasses a day

Your body is holding on to the Water right now. You are also readjusting in inches also. Your body is taking a semi break, it's confused and now trying to readjust to the new norm. The more water you get in, the more likelihood of your body letting go of the water.

Are you at goal weight yet? My program instructs 500-1,000 calories per day, mostly Protein, until goal.

I'm not saying you can't go over that if instructed, but if you are at 1,200 that might explain why you're not losing or gaining.

The post about Water retention also makes a lot of sense.

Good luck.

You're what, 2 months post op? You're eating quite a bit and not drinking near enough. 1200 calories is what I was told to eat and I'm a big active man, I weighed 400lbs. If you're smaller and female (which you are) I would think you'd be eating less (but that is up to your NUT). But either way, 4-6 glasses of Water a day is not near enough. 64 ounces is the MINIMUM. And I emphasize the word minimum. More is even better.

Do you have any symptons of being dehydrated? Dry skin, thirsty, dry eyes, dark urine, leg cramps at night? If so, those are signs you're not drinking near enough and that will definitely stall your weightloss.
