How long for the faster metabolism to kick in?
I am 10 months post RNY and have lost 118 pounds (with another 60 or so to lose) but I did my weekly weigh in today and saw I gained 2 back. I haven't changed eating habits, I get in 100+ ounces of water, and my protein is 60-70 g per day. I used to play tennis daily, but now I started going to the gym 6 days a week 3 weeks ago and do cardio for 20 minutes and then weight training for another 15 minutes. I know it's normal to gain weight at the start of working out but how much can I expect to gain? At what point of the exercise program does the gaining happen? Most importantly, when does it stop and the losing kick in again? Am I doing enough exercise? For those of you going away on vacation and not near a gym, do you take the time off from exercise or what do you do as an alternative? Thanks for your support!
