I would try adding Protein Shakes at least two a day. Your body is probably in starvation mode.

Do you think Maybe I'm retaining everything I eat and the Water I drink because I'm not getting enough protien in? I hope that's the case.. Thanks I'll drink them even though I want to gag lol

I agree, need to drink the protein!

It is the most important.

How much are you consuming of the refried Beans? even though they are good for you , they are high carb's. tofu? does tofu have any nutritional value? Look at what you are consuming..and walk...no empty calories..

[kell911 62]

Have you tries the ready made premier shakes? ? they really are good and filling..

I do 4 oz of the beans and the tofu I put in my Soup for the protien.. I can't really tolerate meat yet but I'm going to try.. Some, and I've been walking at the park with my pups every other day.. I will up it to everyday now

do you have a SAMS club there>>if you do they are about 13$ for a case of 12..

Whatever weight you've gained, it's not fat. (not this early out!). You are probably retaining Fluid. The best way to "let it go", is to keep on drinking. Pay attention to the salt content of your food. Aim for around 1500-2000mg a day. Coconut Water will help with electrolytes.

And check your scale. It could be inaccurate too. Step on it several times in a row, and see if it weighs you the same each time.

Make sure you scale is working properly. How often do you weight yourself ?

[kell911 62]

I can tell you this, I am 4 months out some days, weeks and months are better than others. Stay the course..don't over do anything. work hard at everything. TRACK what you are doing...
