I didn't personally experience it, but it's not an uncommon occurrence. Every couple of days someone post with a similar experience. Just continue to follow your program. Your body is still adjusting to a lot of new changes.

Yep, gained 3 pounds at six weeks out and took a month to lose. No worries. Just stick with the program and your overall weight will be downwards.....I promise.

Just keep up with the Protein, liquids, staying within your NUTS recommended calorie counts and getting in some exercise the best you can. I think it is normal to go up and down sometimes, or sometimes stall.

There are lots of reasons why you might 'gain'.

Have you pooped daily?

Did you eat stuff with lots of sodium yesterday?

Did you keep track of everything you ate?

Put the scales away for a week, keep to the plan, drink lots of Water, keep to Protein first, low carbs and weigh yourself in a week. It's annoying when you gain but honestly as long as you are sticking to the plan, it will come off! Best wishes!!

As long as you are adhering to your guidelines it's okay. Your body will adjust and the downward trend will kick back in. Don't let the scale be your guiding light.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
