I don't have any advice other than what's already been given, but I just wanted to say that I can relate. I also want to lose eight lbs (I'm now four lbs "overweight", according to the BMI chart). It's really tough when you're normal - or slightly above normal - weight. I used to roll my eyes at normal weight or slightly overweight women who complained about how hard it was to lose five or ten pounds. Now I get it...
I haven't - but your theory sounds plausible. I used to have similar problems under my breasts when I was SMO.
Hi there thanks for the reply you are correct I know I need to cut my calories way back -
my usual day looks like scramble egg or fruit for breakfast - tea
lunch - 1/2 chicken salad sand and Caesar salad
tea
dinner - fish veggie or chicken veggie
I do drink wine I need to cut that out
wine is pure sugar and totally empty calories. Stopping that may be all you need to do to lose.
fruit is also pure sugar and I would stop that and eat meat with the eggs.
leave off the bread as Nd eAt more chicken salad.
leave off the veggies at dinner unless the are very low carb ones and eat more meat.
Have any of you ladies had issues with vagina yeast infections and bacterial infections since losing weight! Since I've had my surgery, I've had mild issues, but persistent enough that they either never fully resolve or I am getting them back to back. I've been to the gyno, and he says I don't have a yeast infection and tests show a low grade bacterial infection. I'm wondering if having loose skin could be an issue. I have loose belly skin, but it doesn't cover my lady area. Also, I figure the loose thigh skin could be a culprit. I just don't know and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. I don't have any skin infections or irritation where the loose skin is, so idk.

So I'm 12 years out from my sleeve surgery gave really maintained well my lowest weight was 137 I am now 145 I want desperately to lose the 8 lbs I have gained but just seems nearly impossible any advice is welcome ?
what does a days menu look like for you? Are you measuring and tracking?
many of us have to drop calories down to 600-800 to lose.
Yes indeed. It took about 6 days, if I recall, before I saw any loss! I know it's difficult to be patient, but the weight will start to melt off soon.
Ironically, the best thing you can do to get rid of excess fluid is to drink more water! This will also help prevent or treat constipation, which tends to be a problem post-op.
I'm so glad this gives you hope I was researching some things yesterday for my issues I had my surgery 12 years ago and have only had a regain of 8 lbs I am desperately trying to get it off seems so weird now to fight a small amount compared to 100 but it's just as hard . Anyway in my research I saw where a doctor said it is perfectly normal to lose weight slowly in the first month or not at all so hang in there you got this ??

yep - it's because of the IV fluids. Most of us come out of the hospital up to 10 lbs heavier than when we went in (and sometimes more!)
