GRRRRRRRRRR!

Ok. My surgery date was 5/16..... I have been weighing myself daily...I know I am not supposed to, but I keep getting asked how much I lost. And when it was a pound and a half a day, it was exciting. I dropped 22 lbs in 2 weeks...then held steady this week... I didn't weight myself yesterday.....but today, I hopped on, and I am up 5 lbs! Any thoughts....I know I shouldn't be weighing myself as often.

Hi Steve! My surgery was 5/6 and I, too, have been weighting too often! I weighed 6 pounds more yesterday than the day before! I'm not weighing today - it is just too much pressure. I'm just attributing the gain to water retention - it was 98 degrees here yesterday and when its really hot my feet and legs swell a bit. Don't fret - as long as you're not eating more calories than you burn there's no way its actual "real weight gain". Good LUck!

Hey there... I had my surgery May 1st. I lost 17lbs then stalled 2 weeks out for 2 1/2 weeks. I called my Dr and was told its what mostly everyone does. Your body goes into starvation mode about 2 weeks out and you stay steady or even gain before your body adjusts and starts to loose again. I just started loosing again and am down a total of 22lbs since surgery and 49lbs since January... I know stalls are frustrating, but you will have many. Its all part of the process unfortunatly... don't worry it will pass... oh and I too weigh myself everyday. I just try and do it at the same time everyday to get a more accurate reading...good luck...Lauren
