Adding calories, gaining weight 3 months out?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

My best friend recently had the surgery and she lost a lot the first three months. Now, she's adding a little more to what she eats (it's still 1/4 of my portion at best) and she's starting to slowly gain. I'm pre-op and I'mm concerned about this. Of course there's no way you can stay on a week 3 diet indefinitely, but somehow it seemed like her body adjusted to it and is now backtracking a bit. Did this happen to anyone else? Did you stop losing as you started to slowly add more calories?

Thanks in advance for your advice :)

What foods is she adding? How much weight has she gained over what period of time? Does she workout?

She has added about 150 calories more a day about a month ago (sitting about 700 cals a day now) and noticed a stall, then slow weight gain of about 5 pounds in that time. She walks 5 times a week and has since she had the surgery.

Is she pmsing?? I gain 5-10 lbs every time I pms... and unfortunately I'm one of those people who have frequent times of the month. It can be quite discouraging but thankfully I know it's just Water.< /p>
