Losing TOO much weight

[heartofthetinman 31]

I had my surgery in January and now I'm approximately 8 lbs under my goal weight and am not crazy about having lost too much. I'm on 70 grams of Protein a day and getting in Water but not the full amount.

Any suggestions on how to gain back ten lbs?

Eat bacon? Jk sort of! Are you considered underweight now? If not, your body might just want to be smaller.

If you dont mind me asking how are you getting 70 gm of Protein? What are you eating?

What are your stats? The reason I ask is your body might simple be adjusting to a comfortable weight. In addition to that, there is typically 10 to 15% regain that is typical.

There are many mass gain shakes that have everything in them but no fat or sugar.

Question is do you want to pick up weight? If yes I'm positive there are many ways to boost your calorie intake. Contact your dietician if you feel unsure

I get 70 grams of Protein with shakes regular food and bars.

I think I am underweight. I only had 35-40 to lose. Now I dropped that and more. When does the regain start?

I'm a couple pounds less than in my thirties and I'm in my fifties.

Maybe build up some more muscle as well. Muscle weighs more than fat.

Hey everyone. Please I need a serious help????

I'm 6 weeks post op and I only loose 18 pound like 3 weeks after surgery, since then I haven't lost anything and just last week's my scale said I gain 2 pound back. I'm so scared and nervous that this will work for me. I'm doing everything by the book, going to the gym , I walk or run 5 miles within an hour 4-5 times a week. The only thing I noticed I do different is, I can not tolerate all my 64 Oz of Water but I do get like 24 Oz in or more. Pls help me if u have an idear what I need to do different.

The best I can suggest is see your dr/dietician.

Or a quick way of checking is calculate your BMI which can be found on the net ...it's a good indicator if you are considered to be underweight.
