Adding calories, gaining weight 3 months out?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
