I had my panni with muscle tightening almost 8 weeks ago. My weigh in one week post-surgery (so, swelling at its best) was two pounds down. Now i'm up a pound, but was up four pounds earlier this week.

I upped my protein for plastics, but stayed at 1,200 calories daily. I started slowly exercising again, and am back to full cardio (ran 18k last Sunday).

It's driving me nuts...but when did your weight even out after tummy surgery?

Surgery March 23/2011. Completed three full marathons and two half marathons, two half Ironman distances. Completed my first Full Ironman distance (4 km swim, 180 km bike, 42.2 km (full marathon) run) in Muskoka August 30/2015. Next Ironman Lake Placid July 23/2017!

I had LBL and BL in November........STILL have periodic swelling and weight fluctuations.  The important thing is my clothes fit so much better, and I've had to buy all new pants.  I'm basically the same weight as pre-plastics, but go up and down 4 lbs depending on swelling.
