How frustrating. Don't let the scales be the only judge of your success and progress. If you're following the liquids program, that's what counts. Keep on doing what you need to. As I am not there yet, but would venture a guess that the heat this past week is playing a part in weigh-in readings as you are probably drinking and retaining fluids. You might want to contact the dieticians at EMMC and just check in with them.

absoluetly, with this heat, your def retainning weight, keep up the good work, and it will drop, give it some time, just think, before you know it you'll be dropping weight so fast you won't know what hit you. Good luck Amberlee

Don't get discouraged!!!! As everyone else has said, with this heat, you may be retaining fluid! Just keep following your plan and the scale WILL start moving! It's frustrating to not see it move, but it WILL! If you are concerned, I'd give the surgeon's office a call. We're here for you if you need to vent! Keep your chin up! We're honking for you! Ruth

Hi Amber, I did the same thing as well....and was very nervous...the weight finally ended up showing a loss by the end of the last week. Hold tight, and keep doing your very best...it will show up in the end.

You are doing everything right...with the heat and humidity you are most likely retaining fluid. How much are you going to the bathroom? Are you outputting everything you are taking in. EX: both my kids had about 6 glasses of water each last night between dinner and bed. I thought for sure I would be changing wet beds this morning...NOPE they were both completely dry!!!
