So I had the surgery a year ago and have been very successful. I went from 400 to 185. However a week ago I got sick and couldn't exercise for the week and now I'm at 195lbs. I worried I'm going to gain more weight. Is this normal if you don't work out everyday? Is something wrong?

Gaining 10 lbs because of skipping a week's workouts seems extreme. Did you triple your daily mac 'n cheese at the same time? Are you honest with yourself about what you ate?

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch I couldn't really eat anything because I had some sort of flu. Also MacNCheese has been my nickname since high school. Has nothing really to do with my diet.

I know how depressing this is. My heaviest was 215. I lost 30 pounds and then gained back 15. I felt hopeless as I have had this yo yo syndrome for most of my life. I then start the negative tape: I am hopeless, I can not do this, if I were just better, stronger, more motivated, etc. We all know the drill here. This was when I decided to do surgery. So far I am doing better, have lost more than the 15 re-lost pounds. I feel that I am committed but - well, it is a fear. I am beginning with solid food and am trying to get that down. I don't want to stretch my stomach back to what it was. I think if I were you I would go back to the "re-set" where you are doing Clear liquids only, and then you start adding back solids. One good thing is that I have learned that it is easier to lose the pounds the sooner you address it, and stop putting roadblocks in your path. My daughter told me to remember that it is like feeding a baby inside of you.

I was jesting with you. You see negativity.

Good luck with your weight loss.

I doubt seriously you ate enough to gain that amount of weight in one week.

It could be Water retention, constipation, or something else.

Not knowing what your illness is, if you are concerned, you may want to run this by your doctor.

Uh huh... you are negative and being a troll. We all know people who say ugly things and then add "just kidding", usually called worse things than troll.

People need to lighten up! What was said that was so "ugly"? This is ridiculous.

I honestly just wanted some opinions on my question. Don't know why it became such a big deal.

no expert here

don't think it's possible to gain 10 lbs in one week just because you haven't exercised

hopefully you are feeling better

get back to your normal routine of Water, Protein - exercise etc

things will "probably" turn around for the good sooner than later!!!

don't worry tooo much

it causes wrinkles!!!

as @InnerSurferGirl said ..,.,,... (she is one of our registered smarties !!!!! - (seriously) "

"Not knowing what your illness is, if you are concerned, you may want to run this by your doctor."

btw - 400 to 185 (195) is amazing

that's terrific

kudos

take care

good luck

@InnerSurferGirl I haven't been regular since I got sick so that might be what's causing my weight. I'm going to ask my doctor what I should do since I haven't gone number 2 in about a week.

You have not gone number 2 in a week and you are wondering why you have gained 5 pounds! ... its 5 pounds of poop! .. try taking a stool softener to get that stuff out of your tummy.... I'm sure once you do, those 5 pounds will be gone.

What kind of sick? And did you take meds? You could be Retaining Fluid due to dehydration...and some meds will make it worse.

Make sure you get fluids into yourself and stay on track with your diet. I am sure it will come back off

@@Tiffgetnthin I had a flu like thing and was also on the road for work. It was a bad combo. I ended up taking a stool softener and I'm back on track.
