GAINING WEIGHT

So I am not doing anything different and last week I posted I hit my 50 pound loss.  Since then I have gained 3 pounds!!!!
What gives?

You body is adjusting.  If the weight gain continue over the next few weeks than there may be cause to be concern.

 Weight loss does slow each month after surgery.  You are losing at a normal weight.  Getting on the scale now can help you to learn how your body works.  If you have eaten more salty foods, it is normal to see a temporary weight rise.  I find daily weighing to be the most helpful in understanding what I ate and how it affected me.  If I wait a week, it is harder to remember everything and I find myself wondering what might have made me gain weight.

Here is an average of what you can expect with surgery.  Everyone is different, so this is just an average.

Average weight loss after surgery is 100 pounds in one year

Month 1 – 20 pounds

Month 2-6 – 10 pounds

Month 7-12 – 5 pounds
