What am i doing wrong?

[brandy88 151]

15 days out and two days in a row gained? Getting around 500-600 calories been active. So thought was time I should be losing the most? I'm very sad.

Readjust things like your carbs and Water intake. More water more loss. Don't let your body think its starving. AND... Sometimes you have to be patient. You may be a slow loser like some of us. BUT... The weight will come off, I promise!

I'm trying but it's so hard u go thru this painful major surgery and hope to see results. But I will re look at what I'm eating, and try to take in more Water.< /p>

Relax sweetness, 15 days post op you're body is still trying to figure out WTF just happened. Let it take some time to adjust. What kind of gains we talking about here? A few ounces a day? Make sure you're hitting your caloric marks, and focus on those liquids!!! Some people have success with cutting carbs, I do, but I don't want to get in to the mind set of focusing on a diet just yet. Focus on getting in solid nutrition. Right now, liquids for you since you're so new out of surgery. Have patience, relax, and don't stress yourself out over it. Hide the scale for a week or so and don't even worry about it.

Do you track your food? I use MyFitnessPal.com and it helps to see what you are really doing...

[brandy88 151]

I do track my food, and calories burned. I was 22.2 down and now at 21.4 so over last two days put a little less than a pound back on.

[brandy88 151]

I'm on purée foods, but every morning I drink Protein Shake, and then usually 1/2 cup of refried Beans or cottage cheese or something along those lines for lunch and dinner. Sometimes I finish sometimes don't. And drink all day, and feel like need snack usually sugar free pudding.< /p>

[brandy88 151]

But not been tracking carbs, I will watch but my dr diet guide line doesn't have calorie or carb intake that they would like at this point only Protein and fluids.

[FeeIsMe2 508]

The re-fried Beans could have a lot of sodium... maybe its Water retention?

A .8 fluctuation over 2 days is normal and nothing to think twice about. My body weight can fluctuate upwards of 4 pounds in 2 days. I literally hit my all time low of 258 3 days ago. In that 3 days I have been back up to just shy of 261... I woke up this morning to a new all time low of 257.3. Dropped 3 pounds overnight... I can gain 2-3 pounds over night as well. I have learned to watch my "all time lows" rather than focus on the fluctuations.

You better get use to these weight fluctuations because this is how most members here lose weight... Plenty of ups and downs weight wise but over time its a steady progression down.

Mark is spot on. Don't weigh everyday, it is easy to want to see a ton of changes right out of the box, but realistically it isn't going to happen. Get your Water in, the more water in the more comes out. A lot of foods have a ton of sodium, you have to watch that if you are reducing your intake as it will cause you to blow up quickly. Also as your body adjusts to the surgery, it will do every thing it can to hold on to as much energy (fat) as it can. Are you doing some type of exercise, walking etc. Its not too soon to start moving about to get your heart rate a little elevated. It will happen, you just got to let the body get used to it.

Please don't trip out about this...this is normal you are eating SO LITTLE already please don't feel like you need to do less! Track you fluids and Protein and the rest will follow...

[brandy88 151]

I'm walking not released to do anything else.

You are counting tenths of a pound and weighing every other day? Put that scale away for at least a week.

Do it! Do it now!
