Annoyed...gained three pounds



Recommended Posts

Frustrated that I gained three pounds this week. I workout (cardio) 6 days a week and have anywhere from 600-800 calories a day. At two month mark. Anybody got any ideas how to speed up weight loss. Starting weight was 294. Down to 244. Up three lbs from monday!

You lost 50lbs in two months? That's awesome!!! For me, once I was past that initial 1 month big loss my average loss was 1 to 2 lbs a week.

My dietitian said to up my Protein 20 grams if I hit a stall.

My doc said at minimum I should be getting 800 cals, closer to 1200 when exercising. I'm only 5 weeks. Might help to bump up the healthy calories to keep up with your impressive work out regime. Good luck to you.

I gained 3 pounds too but I'm only 2.5 weeks out. I have also been working out more and thought maybe you hold onto Water while you gaining muscle... Just a theory. Stay off the scale. You will lose in the long run.

I did the same even though my NUT didn't recommend it LOL I was at the 9 week mark (10 week with preop) and I kept bouncing between these 2 pounds. It's finally coming off and I've lost those 2 and another 2. It took two weeks though. The stall happened as soon as I bumped up my cardio and started jogging.

I'm at the 6th month mark, and about two weeks ago had my first gain of about three pounds as well and then a long stall. Honestly, it has passed now and I feel like it was just bloating. I mentioned on myfitnesspal it felt like a bad case of PMS that lasted nearly a month. Just keep going.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
