SCALE HOPPERS

i posted on the main board, but also want to post here. i was good, hid the scale since sunday! but was gonna weigh today because it is 2 weeks since surgery. omg, i gained 2 lbs! since last wednesday, i have freaking gained! what is going on? i am doing everything i am supposed to be doing, i don't understand this at all. so today, i am going back to liquids. i am so upset about this. hugs~mary jo

i dont think you should just jump back to liquids. WE NEED PROTEIN!!! U want to loose ur fat not muscle. Could u be gaining for your time of the month. Truthfully i bloat up 5 lbs the week before my time. I had noted this last year when i was struggling to loose weight. For us females its normal. DID u have something high in sodium that has u retaining??? many things cuase it i wouldnt just jump back to liquids its not good. NOT sure i helped ((HUG))...i know its hard and when that happens to me i to will get disgusted were all human. Take care lisa

hey lisa! i can't stop crying today, for just no reason, or should i say for stupid reasons. i should not be due for my period til june 26th, so it can't be that. i just feel helpless, i feel like i don't know what i am doing. i haven't even paid attention to sodium, i have been so into my calories, fat, carbs, protein and liquids! i just looked at what i had yesterday and it was like over 1300mg sodium! most of that came from deli turkey breast. that is a lot, huh? maybe that is my problem, i have had 2-4 oz of turkey breast everyday. how much sodium should i stay under? i just hate this feeling. i know everyone goes through the "not losing", but gaining? and someone on the main board said it's only 2 lbs. well, gaining any weight after having this surgery, only 2 weeks out, i think that is something to be upset about. i don't know, i guess i should not go back to liquids, i don't want my body to think i am starving it. do you know how many calories you are averaging a day, lisa? please email me or let me know here about these questions! thanks. hugs~mary jo

hey mary jo...i am due the 25th and i can see the mood swings from PMS already being i havent been takeing my evening primrose this month. We tend to be more moody from the hormone release in our weight loss. I am sure its that. And our bodies underwent major major things this month so it will impact that. HANG in their im telling u i bloat up 5 lbs the week before my aunt flo. (((HUG))))......stay strong, i do worry about u going on the liquids....if we get to much into starvation mode our bodies will hold on to the fat and not let it go in losses. TAKE CARE LISA
