There is definitly a distinct pattern in how I'm losing. I gain or lose very little one week, then drop a big number the following week. At first I thought it was just in my head, but my recording/tracking doesn't lie! I'm actually feeling great this week with a -3.0 lbs loss, after gaining a little last week. Every body works differently, before surgery I never understood how I could just look at food and gain weight. Now, I'm losing (pretty steadily too) but there are distinct times were I lose more or gain. I'm very observant of this, and it's also really making me sit back and take a deep breathe. I'm not focusing hard everyday on calorie counting, but understanding that my body has a cycle and it will do what it's going to do. I just got to keep making good decisions, and working out when I can, and it will be alright. :)

This has been true with me too! Nothing or little weight loss, and then boom! 3-5 pounds fall away....

I just keep going forward. As my fortune cookie I got (presurgery) told me, "Always remember where you are going and never forget where you've been."

I should add that quite poignantly, that fortune was from my "last meal" at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant right before I started my liquid diet. It was like a little extra nudge that I made the right decision.
