Welcome to stallsville! (900 cals, 1 1/2 hrs swimming, 10 mins elliptical and 4 L water = GAIN 0.5 lbs



Recommended Posts

What a banner for today. Now I know I know dont weigh daily, your body is changing - all correct logic, but in the past week I have lost 2.7 lbs, actually gaining on 2 occasions. This is with religiously 45 mins swimming daily, cals between 650 and 900, and 2 to 4 L Water daily. Only logical thing I can think of is now back on solid foods combined with the Calcium, Iron!!, Thyroid etc that my body is finding a new equilibrium.

In short while still down a lot, I could have made same progress on WW.

Anyone else see a plateau or shreek gain when starting solid foods.

PS Please dont mention inches - I have looked there too

Many thanks

Maybe your calories are too low for the amt of exercise? Bump it up for a day or 2 to 1200? See what happens

Thank you

I had actually bumped from the 550 to 900 which is kinda like double.

Also As with solid food while carbs still low, they are up. Could be I am less in ketosis which I know brings in more Water?

Dont worry about it almost everyone of us goes through this. Im almost 3 months out and I deal with this also. It will get better, just remember your body is still in shock from the surgery and not much going in it. Please have patience it will get better.

Thanks - again all logical comments that make sense, but hard to get up at 5:30 to swim knowing your weight is increasing. Today taking the morning off ...

Upping your calories is a good thing with the amount of exercise you're doing. You could also be holding some Water weight between the swimming and the amount you're drinking. I went through a stage where I was hitting the gym twice a day, cutting my calorie count super low, and drinking enough water to float a ship. No loss. As soon as I backed off on the exercise component and added in a couple of small protein-based Snacks daily, my weight loss started again. I'm about to hit hard core again on the gym and food fronts, so sit back and watch me get to goal by summer! :)

Exercise puts Water in your muscles. They need it to repair. In the long run the fat comes off. I always gain weight the day after exercise. Eventually, I lost all the fat to my goal weight and am growing a nice set of muscles, for an old fart that is. :)

great thank you all

I am hoping this adjustment is the combo of Water in muscles, adjust to solid foods etc. Assume this adjustment will end and start trendign down

Don't be discouraged, seems like you have a nice program "keep your hands to the plow". How is your hunger after work outs? - if it is strong try adding some complex carbs to your diet. 900 seems a bit low for all that swimming and life!

Good point. Was curious more carbs would end the ketosis - thus an influx of Water

Have to admit after starting Thyroid medicine a week ago, the Calcium, Iron and B12 my energy has been thru the roof till about 6pm.

      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.
