On a stall?

Okay, went back to the er for fluids because of vertigo. I always gain excess pounds with fluids. I retain it terribly. I have been on a stall since my incision drama. I finally gave up the scale but got back out the measuring tape. I have lost inches all over.

I know I could be gaining muscle because of the protein and isometric exercises. I should be able to go up a level on the bands because it has become easy.

I really miss watching myself lose a couple of pounds a day though.

BTW, my incision has closed up 2cm, only 4cm left. Yeah, then I get to swim!

I hope you start feeling better did you have Open? I have lost 2 lbs in the past 3 weeks the scales have barely moved so I feel ya just got to wait it out but it is frusterating!

Please read my post above. I only lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks.

Nope, had the laproscopic surgery but my belly button incision became infected. It was too warm and moist. Now I know to put towels between the fat rolls. I personally think they should of just sucked some of the fat out of the top roll to prevent it... wouldn't that of been nice?

I know that not getting enough protein can cause us not to lose because of the healing process. If I remember correctly, 6 months is what it takes for our intestines to heal enough so we can eat lettuce type veggies without hurting our incisions.
