gaining on diet?

hey guys, I'm on month 4 of my 6 month supervised diet and have actually gained weight instead of lost it.  I was wondering if anyone else had found themselves in this position before surgery?  Thanks, Pam

Hi Pam, Initally I gained weight and then I lost. Only when I changed habits and lifestyles that I know I would need to do post op, did the weight come off. I started eating smaller portions, cut out diet soda and started drinking lots of water and flavored drink mixes like Crystal Lite. Although you may not lose weight during this time, it's pretty much expected. If we could do it on our own and keep it off we wouldn't need the surgery right? Keep your chin up and keep visiting here!

Thanks Jen, I actually have become a board addict, reading the posts several times daily, I just am somewhat shy about posting. I find Kats' morning readings usually very inspirational and have found myself reading everone who posts blogs so I can get a better feel for who is saying what and why. Thank you for your understanding. Pam
