Help I'm gaining weight



Recommended Posts

So im just over 6 weeks post -op and I've lost 29 pounds so far .I can Dmitry that I haven't been tracking my intake like I should but I also hardly eat I know I way below what my daily intake should be so how am I gaining weight ? the scale has gone up by 2 pounds after staying the same for about a week . I don't even break 800 calories a day so how am I gaining and stalling????

Hw:367

Sw:317

Cw:288

Stalls just happen. Gains, however, are Water weight. I always gain 2-3 pounds before I start my period. Where are you in your cycle? It lasts a week for me and then I drop the additional pounds and more.

try not to worry too much....first, know that it takes time for your body to recover from the surgery and your body is still recovering at six weeks out. You may have hit a stall but I promise it will start to fall off soon. My journey was nuts in that I would stall for three weeks and then lost 10lbs in a week. Try to make sure you get your Water in, too! You won't continue to gain...just try not to compare yourself with others on the same journey. God bless!

I'm 7 weeks out and my weight will go up and down every day so I stopped wishing daily. I'm on a stall now. I know it will get better. You didn't gain weight all at once so you can't lose it all at once. Cut yourself some slack. Also taking measurements has been a great motivator for me when the scale is not!

My cycle actually just ended yesterday I hope that's what the cause is I didn't even think about that being the cause

Thanks I will keep this in mind and I def could use more Water I don't think I've had 64 ounces in a day since before I had surgery

Give it a couple of days and see if you drop. I can predict my period like clockwork now because I gain about two days before starting and lose about two days after.

I'm not the only one, either. Maybe you're just in our hormone club.

I was wondering the same. I'm about 12wks out and I may have pushed it with how Valentine's Day chocolates but I can barely eat and I'm about 4lbs heavier, this week. Any suggestions?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
