Tuesday will be 6 weeks post op and I am GAINING! Please explain how this is possible and don't suggest that this is a stall. I was on a stall from 2/5 to 2/21 when I didn't even lose a pound. But at least I didn't gain. Now I am gaining. To give you some additional insight here are my statistics.

Sunday 293 haven't eaten yet

For my friends reading this remember I am the one whose Dr told me to reduce my protein from 60 down to 41. As you can see I didn't really do that. Is that why I am gaining?

Minimum Protein 70 grams....get a second opinion. 40 makes absolutely NO sence.

Now. Had surgery. September 22 2015. By DEC 25th I was 229.

So like a moron I slacked off being diligent on what I ate. Yea I had Xmas chocolates, canned energy drinks, had sugar in Cheerios and coffee, some bread, Pasta basicly stuff I had no business having in my house nor eating. Feb 3 I weighed 253!!!!!

Yea you can gain if you eat crap. I wasn't logging what I ate. So I downloaded MyFitnessPal. And over the month of February my scale didn't move. Wasn't getting enough Water, Vitamins and protein and my carbs were still to high. I was eating too much Peanut Butter.

Tracking protein and carbs......its extremely enlightening how much sugar and carbs are in some things. Fruit sugar was killing me, love apples bananas an oranges....

Now I went back to basics. I drink 2 protien shakes breakfast/ lunch and grilled chicken breast with lime an Cajun spices. 4ounces = 30 grams. Body fortress each scoop 30 grams.

I'm exercising 5x at gym/ week. weights and cardio(1 hour cardio)and walk 3 miles, extra cardio , with dog up mountain road. Remember Muscle weighs more than fat too

Baddrabbit Glad to hear you are back on the plan of eating and exercising. I am sure those 24 pounds will be coming off very soon.

Yes everyone has been telling me the 41 gram is way too low. Since the first posting I have been trying to up the grams which is difficult when you can't eat but 2 or 3 oz before the pain comes. I am still drinking one or two Protein drinks a day depending on how much food I can take in. I am not eating crap so I am doing the plan and I bike 5 days a week. Granted I can't bike more than about 4 miles due to being disabled,but overall I feel I am doing what I need to do. I guess I am just a slow loser.

You keep going strong and you will be below your Holiday weight again. Thanks for posting.
