Gaining weight

[Suko75 10]

I am 40 days post ops and since I was told I can eat normally I have gained 6 pounds I am so worried I must admit I eat bread max few bites from a sandwich, Pasta like two forks for carbs could this be the reason

It does sound like the carb monster! Slider food can also be an issue. My doc goes with 2 roughly tablespoons of textured Protein, followed by 1-2 tablespoons of vegetables, so you're feeling satisfied and it's slow to go down. Are you keeping a food diary and tracking calories? That might help you figure out what the issue is.

I don't know about you, but it's so cold here that I'm having trouble getting out and getting moving! I know that will help me with my goals.

Good luck-- you'll figure this out!

Since I am back to work stopped moving guess that could add to it as well

Suggest u keep track of foods u eat (I love myfitnesspal and it is free). I am 8 weeks out and ...my goal is 800 calories per day and 65-70'grams off Protein.per day. I do eat fruit with my Protein shakes..sometimes bran cereals with milk, veggies, very little rice, 1/2 slice of 40 calorie bread, I try to eat my Protein first. And many times I cannot anything else on my plate cause I am completely satisfied.

Exercise has really helped me with a stall I was having for two weeks. I Do cardio for 30 minutes at a medium strenuous pace..the I do machines for my upper /lower body.

Get back to basic and u should start losing again. Also r u eating very salty food. ..part of your weight gain maybe be salt retention.
