Dear Lord...not already?

Surgery on 2/6, down 74 pounds. Got on the scales this morning and for the first time since surgery they went up....3 pounds. So scary. It can't be over yet? Please help me know that it isn't. This weekend was good as far as eating. However, I recently started the diet soda thing and I wonder if they are causing me to eat more and obtain fluid? I have another 60 pounds to go !

It isn't over! I tell you those diet sodas are loaded with sodium. Your body is use to pure wonderful water. I was sitting with a group of women, and they were dieting (back during the low fat fad) and they were complaining about not loosing after everything and even switching to diet sodas. One of the Dr.'s I worked for told her to quit drinking those diet sodas, and sure enough her weight started coming off again. Hang in there, Debbie -56 BTW you are doing great!

Thanks, I am not going to touch those diet sodas again. Will let you know how it works.

Most sodas have sodium in them (the exception is Diet Rite products). So the weight gain could be that. There is no way your weight loss has stopped. Maybe a temporary plateau, temporary gain .... keep on track and you will start losing again soon. Mary
