I am 10 wks and I gained 2 pds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I am getting frustrated... I gained 2 pds. Hubby and I went shopping and my brain froze on what to ea****ch this and watch that... I had not been count carbs, just protien since I can not tolerate protien drinks of any kind. But now I do not know what to eat to lose more. I wanted to be at 200 pds at New Years and I failed my goal. I weigh 215 now!!! :angust: I have hit a point right now of what the hell did I get myself into.. I do not know why I froze. I guess cause of the Carbs... This is what killed me before surgery....I was told 25 carbs a day.. I am lost I feel like he is winning right now... Any suggestions would be great, menu, I do not eat 4-5 times a day nor 3 meals, drink I drink about 60 oz of water.. Thanks, Lost Ann

HI Ann, I am no expert at all, but I do know that from hearing some of the girls at the support group, that when they did not eat enough, the body went into starvation mode and refused to give up what they did eat. Hence, they gained some.. Call your nutritionist, and ask her/him, or try increasing your eating..I was doing the same thing. I can not do protien drinks either, they gag me! GROSS Maybe a few small meals a day would let your body know it will be fed again so it does not store the food.. take care hugs, jeannie

Hiya Ann...let's talk, hon. Email me and I'll send you my phone number, and maybe we can brainstorm some. After tomorrow, I'm off work for a good long break. There are a number of things that you can do to help this move along. Carbs were my killer before surgery, too, so I can totally relate! Tight hugs, and keep the faith!! Donna Earley
