Gained 2 freaking pounds!



Recommended Posts

I am ready to pull my hair out! I dropped 30 lbs in my first month and I know that is amazing. But for 2 weeks I have bounced between 208 and 204. I'm at 206 and I am frustrated. I can't get another drop of Water in me, I'm meeting or exceeding my Protein goals (my dr says 20-30 grams per day for 1st month) but I am beyond constipated, M of M isn't working, neither is Miralax, or hot coffee/tea. Excercizing 30 - 40 minutes per day and nothing seems to be working. How in the world do you gain 2 lbs when you aren't eating more than 500 - 600 calories per day and you're working all of those off? I know, I know, I must have patients and the weight will come off but in this moment, this very moment right now...... I want to throw my scale through the window!

Where are you in your monthly cycle? No matter what, I gain weight every four weeks like clock work. It's maddening, but I know it'll come off. Could it be that? Sometimes when I am constipated I drink some extra Protein and it helps me go- odd but effective. MOM, Miralax, and every stool softener and laxitive out there has no effect on me either :/ good luck!

Try am herbal tea called smooth move... You can get it at Walmart. I drink a cup every other day.. It will get it moving with no cramping.

I ended up taking the regular dose ex-lax and 12 hours later I am so cleaned out I would probably whistle on a hill top. I have no idea if we are allowed to take ex-lax or not so please don't follow this advice without talking to your doctor (I tried calling mine but didn't get a call back). But I can say that it worked for me after not going for almost 2 weeks. I feel so much better and for the first time in a long time I didn't vomit when I ate. Gotta tell ya, it was a great feeling.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
