Easily gaining weight?

[JonteRaynal 2]

I'm very happy with my decision to get the sleeve done but i've been stuck around the same weight for the last 2 months. I dropped 50lbs almost instantly but just last week, I was 278, few days later I was 289. I can't say I eat extremely healthy but I can't say I eat extremely bad. And, of course, I can't consume much food. Why is it soo easy to gain weight, soo quickly? Is it just Water weight? I feel like the weight gain is defeating the purpose.

I wouldn't think 11#s is "Water weight" .. Do you log the food/calories you eat? Maybe it would help you to do so if you don't.. You might be surprised.. You can also look up how many calories it takes to sustain the weight you are then you'll know what you need to stay under to continue to lose

By "not eating healthy" do you mean not following your prescribed diet? Being the same weight for days or weeks is normal but gaining 11 pounds isn't.

How much Protein and carbs do you eat daily?

Drinking enough Water?

Exercising?

Avoiding "Slider" foods and alcohol?

You don't have to justify any of this to me but you do need to be honest with yourself.

The WLS is just a tool. To lose weight we really have to do ALL the work ourselves.
