Ok, so I've been power walking for about 2months now and decided a couple weeks ago that I can start running. At the speed of a turtle but nevertheless running. Now I'm up 3lbs! Is this "muscle"? my monthly visitor has also been visiting a hell of a lot more often lately, once a month has turned into 3 weeks maybe skipping a day or two between visits. But I was still losing when this new phenomenon started, I think it's honestly because of the running!! Whatcha think?

Being on my period is like a 3lb gain for 4 days.

Months 8-9 post op, I had a period every 2 weeks. Now it has gone back to normal. I have never ever had irregular periods in my life.

I think it is just a body adjust bump in the road.

It's your muscles swelling/rataining Fluid because you've stressed them. They inflame as the result of that stress. It's just Water, keep running and move on.

It takes months to add actual muscle mass, and it's rare to add muscle mass during a weight loss period. You need a calorie surplus to add muscle mass.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
