It wasn't the challenge that put me back in starvation mode it just has been the way I eat for a long time now and I tend to forget drink the Water or other liquids even if I have them with me. I just need to re focus myself.

Unfortunately after seeing my surgeon yesterday it was decided that I should not continue with the Challenge at this time. I have put my body in starvation mode again both by dehydration and not eating enough protein. Please everyone make sure you get enough of both everyday. It is so important to your health. I may join the next challenge but we will see I haven't decided yet. Good luck to you all.

Ok everyone my weight today is 243 which is a seven pound gain. I don't know what I am doing wrong except for not being able to get all my liquid in. I can't keep going on this way because I am really freaking out. I'm going to the gym for an hour a day and let me tell you my body is letting me know because muscles are sore. It's a complete different work out then Zumba or just walking. Anyone have this happen to them I'm ready to go back to stage one diet. There would be tears with this but there wasn't one that should them.

Another week no loss weight is once again 236.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply the hospital nutritionist and I have gone over what I eat and thinks that I may need both more Protein and definitely more Water. I feel like I am drinking all the time but I numbered the bottles yesterday and only got through three before I went to bed. The gaining really through me and it isn't something that I was ready to experience ever. What was also pointed out to me was that stress will make you gain even if you are eating and doing everything right. So I am back to a food journal as well as a discussion journal that I can choose to share or keep to myself as a way of coping with what is going on. Thank you both again for taking the time to share with me it means a lot.

My Dr. had me restart my psych meds once I was released from the hospital. I didn't take any of my meds while I was there which was for two nights since the hospital was quite a ways from home. He took me off of all meds except those that were psych. I had to crush them so time release was no longer an option. Some I was able to get compounded (made into liquid) but that was worse than crushing. You can ask if they have a liquid form some meds do. I had no problem with the Xanax but others caused me to get sick. Our body changes with the surgery. What we tolerate and even how things taste. What we once liked we may not stand post op.. Just work closely with your drs. Good luck with your surgery.. I am glad that I had mine wouldn't turn back for anything.

For the past few weeks I have not lost anything but instead am starting to gain. I have gone back to 241 and emotionally I am not dealing well with this at all. I am scared and don't understand how I can be gaining when I only eat 3 to 4 ounces at a time and the dr only has me eating three meals with one snack. I even weigh my food. Has anyone done this? I have lost just over 70 lbs since surgery in Sept since the gain back.
