kathyhall 1 Posted June 19, 2014 . Tell me how it's possible to gain 12 pounds in 4 days I'm so damn frustrated ugh. I eat nearly the same thing daily keeping my carbs under 20 sometimes yes I go over but never over 50. That is rare at that. Sigh but 12 pounds up in 4 days scares me. No I'm not pregnant. So today I attempted the liquid diet again. It's like the hunger has come back full force and it isn't head hunger. Hopefully a few days of liquid will shock my system. Has anyone been prescribed calorie blockers or diet pills or appetite suppressants since surgery. I know that seems odd to ask but am curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been my experience that anything gained/loss in a short period of time is Water weight. I seriously doubt you gained 12 pounds of fat in 4 days. More than likely you had something that had much more sodium in it than you knew and your body retained extra Water.< /p> Just stick with your program and watch your sodium intake. If for any reason it concerns you do see a medical professional. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichiganChic 3,262 Posted June 19, 2014 It's Water. With increased heat and humidity of summer, it's easy to hold on to water. I can easily hold 4-5 pounds of water. When I was 300 pounds, it was at least 10. Try increasing your Fluid intake, avoid high sodium foods (read those labels) and try to get in a little walking. Sit with your feet up when sitting.

HypnotizingHazel 39 Posted June 19, 2014 Check the batteries in your scale. My scale has scared me a few times. Thankfully, new batteries fixed it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
