I know thats probably rediculous but i didnt go thru all this to gain thats for damn sure. I was exlecting to stall since ive been so sick but gain wtf?! Im so upset

I wouldn't worry if I was you. It's only 3 pounds & I'm sure it will be gone soon. Weight your self once a week like I do. I'm at stall once again but it's ok. I want the scale to slow down. I don't want to disappear. I heard you have to take more Protein to increase weight lost. Idk cuz believe it or not I'm not into protein but I eat fruits veggies & fish & of course yummy steak.

It's probably Water. You'll be fine.

To gain a pound of fat you need to eat roughly 3,500 calories more than what you burned that day.

This is science. This goes for every single human on this earth regardless of anything.

You didn't gain weight.

It's physically impossible for you to have done so.

Breathe. It's Water.

This is true according to dieticians. From what I understand your body burns through about 1,500 calories a day just with normal activities.

So if you gain weight, you are likely just retaining Water or plateau. I've had plateaus that start with a gain like that.

I bet you ate more than you realized before surgery... We all did or we wouldn't be here.

I'm a nurse and what Kaylee Ann said is scientific fact.

[mommytonya 77]

Well i geuss my one meal a day i used to eat had some serious fat in it than. Again thanks for the support lol.

If you aren't eating enough calories, your body goes into starvation mode and holds on to every calorie it can, storing it as fat. So your one meal a day was just as damaging as eating an extra 3500 calories. Our bodies need consistent steady calories (hence the recommended 4-6 small meals per day) for maximum calorie burn and to keep our metabolisms as active as possible. That's why upping calories and increasing exercise are often the keys to breaking a stall.

I know that i got fat from eating unhealthy an at the worst times. I didnt start this thread to be attacked about how much i eat lol. I was freaking out a bit about gaining. I was looking for a simple its probably Water weight dont worry it will pass. Im not stupid but thanks i learn something new everyday.. Today i learned i ate WAY more calories than i ever thought i did. And here i thought i just wasnt making the right desitions on when i ate. My one meal at dinner time. I didnt know it was possible for me to consume 3500 calories in one day wooo yuck!! I sure am glad im not that person anymore

No one attacked you. You were provided with information that was helpful and informative so you could see that the old way you ate (that we ALL ate) is damaging and that since you're not eating that way anymore, you're not gaining. You can gain up to 5 pounds in Water, btw, which is totally different than gaining fat.

Impossible to early in the surgery stage to gain weight. Life is full if stress. Us women get TOM our body goes threw changes & stall. We gave the right information. Your not being attack. We are here for you.

Well you didn't gain weight or need the gastric bypass by eating carrots.

It's science.
