Gaining at 3 months post-op! How? Why?

[BMC blogger 38]

What am I doing wrong? Seeking advice, I’m 3 months post-op and have been in a 5lbs flux for over a month. Up and down, finally saw some movement last week when I forgot to take my Protein Shakes for a couple of days but as soon as I started them up again I gained. Has this happened to anyone?

Always, especially early on. Stress, Water, lack of sleep, even eating too much (which is almost impossible at 3 months but it can be done, I guess), can contribute to weight fluctuations. Don’t focus on that scale number but measurements as much as possible. Remember you’re still in the healing phase too. Stick to your program... It’ll drop.

I would schedule an appt with your dietitian or nutritionist asap. If you aren't already, make sure you log your food & exercise. That will help you & your Dr or nutritionist identify any areas of concern.
