weight up and down???

Merry Christmas to everyone! I had my surgery on December 15th. I started at 252 lost to 242 pre-op then came out of the hospital at 260 Yikes!  The thing is a few days ago I weighted in at 231 but now I haven't been down to that since? Seems I just keep going up and down. I weigh in the same time (first thing in the morning) . Sooo I don't know what the deal is.............Anybody else have the same issues. Karol

Your gonna go up & down like that for months to come as your body settles from the trauma of having surgery. There's always a lot of fluid build up from the surgery. You can also hold your weight you loose in water until your body decides to get rid of that excess water. Takes about 6-8 months for our body to catch up to the recovery of the surgery plus the loosing weight. Just keep patience at hand & follow your doctors orders on how he wants you to eat to loose weight. Congrats & good luck!

Thanks Jo! I did find out one thing, my scales did not work lol I now have a good scale that works. Did it say that you had Dr Clark too? Maybe I read that wrong?

I agree with everything Jodi said and just wanted to encourage you to look for other ways to measure your achievements.  Take measurements of your body everywhere... arms legs neck thighs waist hips bust.... Do it once a month and record it.  You will find it valuable when you have a time when the scales arent moving and you will find that your body is still changing and inches are melting away.  Record your WOW moments so when you feel discouraged you have something to read to pick your spirits back up.  This is a journey like no other and you will have some hard times when you feel you are failing... but the rewards are numerous and I wouldn't changei it for the world.

Best wishes,
Tracy
