trsnodgrass 5 Posted February 28, 2018 Surgery is 3/5/18. I’m following the 2 week pre op Protein diet to the letter. Instead of losing weight I’m gaining. Feeling discouraged that I will not lose the weight I should. Hopefully someone else has had this issue and can offer some encouragement. 2 Debby1971 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some scales just aren't accurate I find. Also it could just be all the liquids going in. They can make you heavier when you weigh yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trsnodgrass 5 Posted February 28, 2018 I weigh at work using the same scale every time. First thing in the morning. Im tracking on Baritastic. I would have had only 1 Protein Shake by the time I weigh myself. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,430 Posted February 28, 2018 What are you eating, what type of Protein Shakes? How much sodium are you getting? Could just be Water retention? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeattleJava 21 Posted February 28, 2018 I suspect Water retention, too. I remember gaining 13 lbs of excess water in the past... was all the sodium from Lean Cuisine Meals. Hang in there, don’t get discouraged! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
