Need reassurance

I was sleeved April 23rd and have pretty much had a steady decline with the exception of one stall. I have started running and lifting weights, I am still only eating around 750 calories a day and all of a sudden a gain 1.5lbs. Maybe TMi, haven't gone #2 in a week, getting all my water. What am I doing wrong?

    Maybe add in some fruit and veg in small amounts and/or try increasing your water.

    The human body can easily hold 5 lbs of poop. Time for Miralax or Milk of Magnesia.

  • I do that if I eat to much salt too because for whatever reason I retain water very easily (always have). But my first guess would be the poo thing. You'll be amazed how much better you feel. I'm spea

I think you answered your own question. Perhaps some Miralax is in order. Your weight will vary a bit from day to day but you aren't going to have a sustained weight gain at that calorie intake level.

I ate around 800 until 9mths in but I always got between 75 - 100 gms of protein & I've never been constipated.

Yeah, you need to poop. I'm always amazed when I weigh myself before and after I poop how much the scale goes down. Between a half pound to a pound. Gross. LOL.

One other thing to consider... I usually gain 1-1.5 pounds when starting my period. Then I lose it again after the cycle is done.

Thanks everyone!!

I will be starting Miralax. Fun times!

If that doesn't work try drinking a cup of coffee I know this sounds wierd, but it works for me. If neither of these things work then I would make an appointment with either your surgeon or PCP.

I do that if I eat to much salt too because for whatever reason I retain water very easily (always have). But my first guess would be the poo thing. You'll be amazed how much better you feel. I'm speaking from experience here.

Sounds like a poop issue but you also mentioned weight training...muscle weighs more than fat....just tossing that out there!!! Keep up the good work!
