Annoyed...gained three pounds



Recommended Posts

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.

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 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'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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
