The swelling from my plastics have been driving me crazy and I needed to take a break from daily weighing as it was starting to drive me insane. Week before last my weight was all over the place. Within a week span I bounced around between 195 and 203.
I talked to my plastic surgeon and he said the swelling issue can last up to a year. So far it's six months

Mikey, I'll be 2 years out from my LBL in October and I still swell sometimes. It drives me crazy too! I don't so much notice it on the scale as I feel it...very annoying, especially if I've had too much salt or not enough fluids. I often wonder if I'll ever feel normal again...I sure hope so...

Aren't we just? I am significantly below where I wanted to be and still below my new goal range but gaining the pound I lost 'cause I was sick unnerved me. Not healthy thinking and I explained this to myself in no uncertain terms this morning - if you only allow yourself to bounce down but never up, the end result is a skeleton. Not my goal.
So going to chat with the headshrinker about this.

I ate the most calories yesterday I have ever eaten--close to 1600. That totally freaked me out. Yet, no gain today. The hardest part for me in all of this is figuring out what hunger is. I mean the difference between physiologic hunger and head hunger. I am so afraid of hunger, yet I am just starting to learn that my body tells me when it needs fuel, and that a healthy metabolism will burn calories instead of put them into fat cells. As a fatty, hunger only meant more volume eating, more carb-loading, more food orgies, more weight gain. I am still not so sure what it means now, and I am still very very afraid of "hunger" per se. My goal is to come to understand it, even trust it (in conjunction with my sleeve) and to rely on it to provide me with just the proper amount of calories to keep my machine running perfectly. This may take awhile, as hunger for the last 20 years has only meant indulgence and weight gain. Physiologic hunger versus head hunger---that is what I will be working on for the months ahead. Have any of you vets come to trust your hunger yet?? and not fear it??

When I am hungry, my stomach is growling and I feel empty and sort of sick. It's close to meal time.
When it's head hunger, I am looking around for something good to eat. I deinitely know the difference,
I've already eaten, but my head is not satisfied.
141.2 today so I am going in the right direction.
Off to sell buffalo meat at the Farmers market!

I love my sleeve!!
Lost 107 lbs and maintaining
105.8 it's OK, but I have not been eating as cleanly as I would like. Today, I am sticking with healthy, clean food. Already started with just one egg and one laughing cow cheese instead of my usual two of each. Will most likely eat soup, Alan made a new batch of the Middle Eastern one, all day. Need a little detox.
