Continued gain explained

Good morning OH world, My continued wt gain has had me so confused - had the surgery - not losing wt. So I went through my intake in Diet Power where I record every bite - and there it was. Sodium !!! I have always retained water from sodium consumption and have been basically salt free since April. And all of a sudden I'm eating cream soups out of a can - loaded with sodium. I get my staples out tomorrow and move to the soft or pureed stage so can get back to fresh foods instead of canned. Hope to see better results in the next couple of weeks. Also was able to go to the gym yesterday and did 10 min treadmill and one circuit. Didn't pass out and wasn't short of breath so my numbers must be coming up - Whoopeeee !!! (I had internal bleeding after surgery and required 3 units and am anemic for a while). Slimming wishes to all !

I am glad that you figured out what was going on. And better than that it was not surgery related. I too go and have my stitches taken out tomorrow. I am excited. I have been on pureed foods for a little over a week, and I have found that chicken salad is not my best friend. Any how I hope things get better for you, Melissa

Did you guys have open? I had lap RNY and don't have any staples. They just did some internal stiches and glued me together. I do have a gastric tube into the old stomache because of my c-pap. That should come out on the 20th.

Wow that is great. I wish I could go to the gym. I am waiting on the o.k. from the doc. I see him on Thurs. I had mine done lap and I have no stiches. I want to go and ride the bike and do small weight training. I really want to go back to work. Steph
