I am putting on weight....body just doesnt respond...

feeling desperate....how much protein can you go on eating....

if i eat chicken weight is stable...otherwise...weight is increasing..

I have severe arthritis....cant walk much....am slow with all activities...hence low metabolism...

please motivate me...

Have u tried protein shakes as meal replacements? Have u tried water activities to remove some of the pressure? Talk with the docs and check out the local YMCA even if your moving slow just keep moving. Good luck

How long post op are you? What exactly are you eating, how many fills have you had, are you exercising......

More info needed to be able to offer any advice.

i can so very relate

i have arthritis also and it makes it hard for me to walk but i do what i can

and ever little step does count (it really does)

that being said, i do watch what i eat (and try not to take more in (calorie wise) then i can burn off

i do focus on protein..alot of chicken and beef (3 to 4 oz only) and alot of veggies.

i also drink alot especially when i get or think i am hungry

i am larger than most (on here i suspect) so i am very strict with what i eat or dont eat

you have to think positive.

thanks for motivating me...i was operated on 11th march 2011. I have had 2 fills,very good restriction. my wt was 92kg....i came down to 85 kg in 6months. this may (15th may 2012) I had liposuction.removed 14 lbs fat. I went down to 80 kg...now again I am putting on ..today I am 83.5..

today I have decided to do weights...3 times a day...today I have had 50 gms protein...I hope the body responds...

thanks friends...but do keep guiding me...
