Hi guys,

My best friend recently had the surgery and she lost a lot the first three months. Now, she's adding a little more to what she eats (it's still 1/4 of my portion at best) and she's starting to slowly gain. I'm pre-op and I'mm concerned about this. Of course there's no way you can stay on a week 3 diet indefinitely, but somehow it seemed like her body adjusted to it and is now backtracking a bit. Did this happen to anyone else? Did you stop losing as you started to slowly add more calories?

Thanks in advance for your advice

What foods is she adding? How much weight has she gained over what period of time? Does she workout?

She has added about 150 calories more a day about a month ago (sitting about 700 cals a day now) and noticed a stall, then slow weight gain of about 5 pounds in that time. She walks 5 times a week and has since she had the surgery.

I would be curious to know if she is getting all her protein and water.

Is she pmsing?? I gain 5-10 lbs every time I pms... and unfortunately I'm one of those people who have frequent times of the month. It can be quite discouraging but thankfully I know it's just water.
