I'm gaining weight.

By castiel

· 1,058 views

I know I've been working out, and lifting a little bit of weights. So I was thinking I was putting on muscle mass, but I'm not losing inches.

 

I have been meeting my protein requirements, but I'm thinking may I need to get in more. It's frustrating that the scale has gone up progressively as the days have passed. I just recently had my period, so I know it's not water weight.

 

I don't really know what else to do :(

 

I don't regret this surgery one bit, and even hitting a 40 pound weight loss, despite not being able to notice it too much. I guess I'm just impatient and dissatisfied that my body isn't losing the weight the way I want it to.

    Its muscle, increase the protein and increase water. Your body is holding onto it, it wants to keep it! You cannot let it! :)

    I found that I was actually eating more as I started working out more, so make sure to really count your intake , watch the carbs, and up the protien... It will come off !!

    How much water are you drinking a day? Are you logging every bite?

    Stop weighing yourself! let the sleeve work. Follow your food plan (find another I did) this is a process it will work if you follow the directions.

    Best to you.
