Im so upset I have gotten within 4 pounds of my goal weight and I somehow gained 6 pounds in like 4 days ..... any advice to get this last 10 pounds off ?

Are you sleeved because you wrote in the "pre" section?

No not yet sleeved need to meet my pre op weight

Why must you lose a certain amount of weight? Is this a surgeon requirement or an insurance requirement?

I am sure if you look over your diet you will find the answer. Either your scale is off or you have consumed an extra 18K calories which would be obvious or you have an imbalance.

You are not a failure. Take charge of this, work out, eat right, consume less calories, get your Water in. Rooting for you.

Thank you so much

Definitely look at your food journal - that will help. Another possibility if you are female is TOM - that tends to put weight on as well (my last TOM put on 8 pounds!) although for most it's only a couple of pounds. Keep with it, and you will do it! Maybe increase your exercise a bit if you are really worried about it.

Whoa! You're not failing, don't be so hard on yourself! Calm down and take a deep breath and then like they said above, go over your food log / diary and see if there really is a problem that you can fix or if you're right on track. My guess is you're right on track because you're so worried about failing, I can't see you throwing it all away on a box of twinkies lol

Remember, stress plays a huge role in things so take a hot bath, read a book, breathe! Don't stress and it'll happen, k?

Also not getting in enough liquid, especially if your diet is high in sodium. You're not a failure!

You ladies are so awsome !!!!!!! Just to let you know im back on track and only have 7 pounds to goal im so excited !!!!!

I would definitely take a look a the food diary. Are you consuming anything especially high in sodium? Chinese food will blow me up by Lbs the very next day, I'm not kidding! Of course it's all Water, it would be *impossible* for me to consumer over 7,000 calories in one day! I work at just getting in 1,000...

Anyway that was the end of Chinese food for me. It was a tough break up after but it had to happen. All those bad carbs and MSG did a number on my scale... it was pretty frightening.

Then there is our friend TOM (if you're a woman), that can puff me up for a few days too.. That's totally normal and I just have to wait that one out. Sucks though... LOL

Get back on the saddle... lower good carbs, fresh fruits & veggies, lean meats... and lots of exercise and plenty of water. You will be getting back to your goals very soon. Good luck!

I think that you should just push the fluids hon! Just water water water water water! That will flush it all out of your system and you will be your preop weight! PERFECT! <3

Good luck hon!

Thank you sarah e.s.
