Up and down see saw!!!

Hello All, I'm one year and 8 months post op and fluctuate my weight! I will weight 139 one day and 144 the next day!!! It drives me nuts, nuts, nuts, Does anyone else experience this. I don't feel bloated or need a bowel movement, just go up and down!!! Hope someone can help! Thanks, Sherri

My weight fluctuates in extremes from day to day too. It drives me nuts. I have noticed when it does that I have had more salt the day before. But, like you, I don't feel bloated or like I gained weight or anything. My calories are consistant from day to day pretty much too. So, I don't know why in one day it can vary so much. But mine will. Melissa Lap Rny 1/15/04 277/136

Yep, fluctuates and seems to be the norm. Mine will usually last a few days. Seems to depend on whether or not I've drank enough water the day before, if I've had my daily you know what, things like that. I also weigh daily to make sure I don't stick my head in the sand. On a good note, I'm between .6 and 1 lb away from doctor's goal and then another 5 to my personal goal. YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! Linda

Same here. That's why it's better to judge yourself by how you feel in your clothes rather than y the scale. Congrat's on getting to 139! I'd LOVE to be there and I will someday! Hugs, Tracy

I have bad news for you. you are normal. Just like evrybody else.... Get off the scale and go out and have some fun, celebrate and enjoy life.

I notice fluctuations too. I'm a daily weigher and I track my weight daily on a calendar so I can see that these ups and downs are normal depending on time of the month, exercise routine, what I've eaten (salty, carbs, etc). I don't let it get me down, but I do use it to help keep me motivated! If I've been "bad" I know it before I even step on the scale, LOL! Tracy B 328/150 5'9"
