What the Heck

I am two weeks post op. I lost 40 lbs in the 2week pre diet and first week post op, but since then I think I have gained weight. I am doing 30 minutes of hard cardio a day, and weights. My diet consists of slimfast and Soup. WHy am I gaining weight. I have not had a fill yet, and I feel no restriction, I hope it gets better.:thumbup:

Maybe the weight you are gaining itsnt fat weight, maybe it is muscle weight.

It will all get better!

its not all about the "hard" cardio for 30 minutes its really about if you stay active during the day. i started excerising alot in the morning but i didnt lose anything and i didnt understand why so i got the bodybugg from 24 hour fitness to see how many calories i burn throughout the day and i noticed that its not about doing crazy excerise for a short period of time but actually doing moderate excerise in the morning which will help you burn more calories during the day. but you have to keep active like maybe extra house work just staying on your feet helps alot you wouldnt believe it. try to stay around 135 to 140 heat rate excerising which is usually not hard your not trying to run a marathon or anything your just wanting to lose weight. so no need to pump your heart like crazy. try to keep your food up alittle as well so your body dont feel like your starving and end up storing. another thing to think about if you are doing weights your prob losing fat but gaining muscle but dont take it as a bad thing you need muscle to burn away the fat. will help you in the long run to lose weight faster sort of speak.

I only walked to lose weight. Congradulations on your workout.

I was walking about 4 miles in 75 min. I hit a 3 week plateau. Yuk.

I mentioned to my gym person at the health club I was a member at ,that I was stuck and guessed I was going to walk 4 miles plus.

She said no more miles!!!! Walk the 4 miles differently. She said walk 1 lap quicker than my normal speed then 2 my regular speed, 1 faster , 2 same old same o.. repeat for whole 4 miles.

It WORKED . In 3 days those stubburn scales moved.

Maybe you can work something out for yourself .

Good luck,

edie
