what the heck is going on????

Monday I weighed 294 today I weigh 297. I understand stalls but weight gain??? Is this normal??? Has this ever happened to anyone else???

It is distressing to go throught this surgery and then see a weight gain. I am not liking this at all.

Absolutely completely normal.  There is *alot* of water that shifts around when you are losing weight due to the glycogen in your muscles and liver (a 4:1 ratio of water:glycogen).. the average liver holds 2lbs of glycogen, and thus the body *needs* 8lbs of water in order to process that.  Thus the massive fluctuations some days.

Plus, hey, women hold water at various times due to our menstural cycles.  Personall, I get it 2x per month and hold onto it for about 10 days each time.  I probably only "lose" weight visible on a scale for 10 days a month.

You may have also gained muscle again while losing fat.


I have the home version of the Tanita scale Dr. M's office uses. If gives you a good idea of percen****er and fat.

The support group is Thursday 9/4. If you get there early you can weigh on the their version of the scale. I will be out of town during the support group.

I would tell you not to weigh so much, but I am one who weighs every day.

But you will be OK.

Could it be near your cycle?  I know I used to gain up to 6 lbs during ovulation and right before i got my visitor.

Take care, Pam

Thanks it is good to know others have experienced these issues.
