Annoyed...gained three pounds

Frustrated that I gained three pounds this week. I workout (cardio) 6 days a week and have anywhere from 600-800 calories a day. At two month mark. Anybody got any ideas how to speed up weight loss. Starting weight was 294. Down to 244. Up three lbs from monday!

You lost 50lbs in two months? That's awesome!!! For me, once I was past that initial 1 month big loss my average loss was 1 to 2 lbs a week.

Don't weigh so often and do some exercises

My dietitian said to up my protein 20 grams if I hit a stall.

My doc said at minimum I should be getting 800 cals, closer to 1200 when exercising. I'm only 5 weeks. Might help to bump up the healthy calories to keep up with your impressive work out regime. Good luck to you.

I gained 3 pounds too but I'm only 2.5 weeks out. I have also been working out more and thought maybe you hold onto water while you gaining muscle... Just a theory. Stay off the scale. You will lose in the long run.

I upped my calorie intake and I lost weight. Go figure. <_<

I did the same even though my NUT didn't recommend it LOL I was at the 9 week mark (10 week with preop) and I kept bouncing between these 2 pounds. It's finally coming off and I've lost those 2 and another 2. It took two weeks though. The stall happened as soon as I bumped up my cardio and started jogging.

I gained 3 pounds too. I am 3 weeks post op is that normal.

I'm at the 6th month mark, and about two weeks ago had my first gain of about three pounds as well and then a long stall. Honestly, it has passed now and I feel like it was just bloating. I mentioned on myfitnesspal it felt like a bad case of PMS that lasted nearly a month. Just keep going.
