Thread: P3D2 up 1.4lbs but...

OK... Made it through P2!

Yesterday was P3D1 and I ate as much as I could without stuffing myself. Must say was pretty hard to eat.

During P2 I had eggs, cottage cheese, and half/half with no problems. Half/half I had every day.

I think I made the mistake of adding chicken sausage and moon cheese snacks (one serving) which may have not been good on my first day out the gate.

I'm waiting until next week to add pecans or pistachios, which I tolerate better than other nuts.

Although, after going back and looking at P&I, it says not to go over 2lbs from LIW. So really my weight went up .4 from last injection weight.

I guess I'm wondering if I should be concerned with the 1.4 so that it does not get out of control?

I did track my calories just to make sure I was eating enough... I got up to 1,566... and was very satisfied. Even today my hunger is not ravenous. I just don't want to undereat.

Should I just chalk it up to water weight?

Thanks!

Anything can become a thing... and cheese can be different than other dairy. You might be able to tolerate soft cheeses ( like yogurt, ricotta, cottage cheese...) and not hard ones.

And it can even be more complicated than that. For instance, I can't use yellow cheeses. I could have interpreted that to mean I was sensitive to cheese, had I not eventually figured it out that what I'm actually sensitive to is the annato seed used to color it.

However, chances are greater that your weight increase was just a natural response to greater food volume that happens when we enter P3. As long as you stay in your 2 pound window, everything is working they way it is supposed to.

I think its a good idea not to start testing suspicious foods until week 2 of P3. That first week can be volatile on the scale just on its own. But if you are not prone to any kind of sensitivities, I wouldn't worry about it too much. My first couple of rounds, I didn't know anything about testing, and just jumped in with whatever I wanted within the P3 guidelines and I stabilized fine. Its not as tricky a process as it can seem to be.
