Ok that's not enough information. What is "normal" to you? What are you eating? Are you tracking your food? How far post op are you? @

Am 11 months out ive been doing so good but when i got on the scale and seen that ive tried so hard and then I have not lost any weight I got mad and I started eating normal food which I have not had in 11 months today and I weight myself and it said I went from 166 to 170

[newlady2015 7]

I started at 230 and I was down to 166 my goal weight is 135

I'm only 5 days out and still on the liquid diet, so not tracking right now, but when I advance to soft foods I'll begin tracking at that point. For me it'll be a must,to keep me from slipping or forgetting,and to keep me on track and on schedule.

Ive been doing so good but i messed up today and I feel so bad

[Jovie62 135]

I didn't do so well either. But tomorrow is another day! Don't feel bad. This is a journey

I am assuming your "normal" food is processed or fast food?

I can tell you why I gained 4lbs since this morning. I had lunch with my parents.

Seriously! They eat high salt, high carb foods. I woke up weighing 211 this morning. Got back at 5pm and was up to 215lbs. It was all the salt and carbs I consumed. When I get back on my normal diet of lean Protein and vegetables - starting tomorrow morning - I will lose those excess Water pounds in a couple of days.

Processed foods and high carb foods trigger my body to hold onto Water and store calories as fat. I have to stick with Protein and vegetables to maintain or lose weight. Even eating too much fruit will cause me to gain weight.

Do you think ive stretch my stomach out

[OutsideMatchInside 10,166]

Probably not. Why not try a few days of Protein Shakes to get back on track.

[newlady2015 7]

am definitely going to do that tomorrow morning.. I feel disgusted with myself

@ Oh good well now you know why you gained weight. You need to get back on track and do what you were doing before. I noticed after losing 100lbs strictly from diet (I never exercised) this last 20-30 isn't going to be as easy. So you may also need to up the exercise. Don't feel defeated just switch it up a bit!
