Sounds normal to me- I am living proof that it WILL come back if we aren't careful. I am up 12 pounds from my lowest and am 1 pound over my extra large 10 pound window.
It's important to be careful and I think- WISE!!!!

Hey Steph- that's good news!!!
I am up another pound which puts me at a pound above my highest window- so it's d-day here. 136 doesn't look that bad- but it sure looked better over 10 pounds ago in the other direction.
Crappy choices and have got food in the house that I shouldn't- it's leaving... 
Good week to everyone...
Holly

Topic: Monday Morning Weigh Ins
Good Morning all!!!
Well, I have been taking a water pill since last Sunday due to swelling and guess what..they work! The doctors have still not determined what is causing the swelling, the cardiologist said that I should jus****ch my salt intake..... If we have any new developments, I will let you konw. I have two more appts this week.
Here are my stats for this week:
HW 327
SW 322
LW 171
CW 163.2
Topic: RE: Getting scared.
Hi there - I'm w/ Suz on this one. We all know where we've come from and how easy it could be to go back. I think the fear of gaining the weight and looking like I used to is what keeps me on track (most of the time!)
I also try to stay within a 5 lb range, When I'm nearing that 5 lb mark, I know it's time to cut back on the carbs, more water and exercise.
So, you are not losing it (unless we all are). It's going to eventual become a lifestyle to us, we'll get used to it and maybe not focus so much on "how much do I weigh today", but we'll just be so used to eating more healthy and won't deal w/ the issues of the scale and gaining weight. I hope at least!

Congratulations! Wishing you a speedy recovery with NO complications!

Thanks Suzanne,
It really does make you feel better when you know you are not struggling with certain issues alone. I have allowed myself that 5 pound window but I guess going from 250 to where I am now makes me overly cautious. So as long as I dont go over my 5 pounds I wont stress so hard. Thanks again.

I think it's safe to say that most, if not all, of us are going through the same feelings and thoughts lately. I find that I can easily shift weight from 1-5 pounds overnight, for no identifiable reason...so it gets tedious to keep watching it too closely. If you have a window of acceptable weight limits for yourself, I think that really helps to keep the calm and not freak out. For instance, my lower limit is 140, the upper limit is 145...so anything in between I have to call normal and maintaining. If I pop above the upper limit, it's time to analyze my diet and movement for the last couple of weeks. If I slip below (hasn't happened yet 
)...same thing is in order. Then, make adjustments as necessary....but those are easy as long as we can catch it within a couple of pounds, and not a couple of dozen pounds as we tried to do pre-op!

Nothing makes you feel better after surgery than a nice, warm shower! Enjoy it, Anna...but, keep up on those pain meds, you'll be sorry if you don't ;o)! Glad to hear that you are home safe and sound. Now...back to bed with you!!
