I Have Gained 15 Lbs But Dropped 3 Pants Sizes



Recommended Posts

I take 50 grams (2 25 gram scoops) every morning along with 3 amino acid tablets, I have not taken creatine, have you? When I played college football my

Strength coach had all the little guys take creatine to gain weight so I always shyed away from that. I going to have to start doing more cardio so I can become more lean, I just HATE cardio but I know in order to reach my goal of 275 I have to get busy!!!

Yes, I have taken creatine. I think it helps with ATP (muscle energy) or something, it does seem to help me get that extra rep or so every set. I took it mostly during those months I was losing weight quickly to try and help me maintain/gain some of my strength back. I don't take it now. But it will channel some Water to your muscles which can cause you to gain a little Water weight, so that's why I asked since you said you've gained some weight. It hasn't caused me to gain any fat. In fact, when I stopped taking it a couple of weeks ago, I almost immediately (within 3-4 days) dropped that 5 pounds of water weight. I'm not a big fan of the cardio either, so I have to make it fun such as sprints, biking, etc. I just don't care for long endless running sessions....though I did a mud run 5k last Spring, but it was really fun and not like a regular 5k. Good luck!

Don't beat ur self up, ur transformation is amazing. And as long as the clothes size are going down and the muscle is going up don't stress, do what u do and keep hitting those weights. I started lifting weights before surgery and got to 110 and for me that was great however now I can only do 50 ugh can't wait to try to get back up their. Keep ur head up.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
