Sassy Sleeve

I do weigh daily. The team I work with recommends against that. Last week at my 1-month follow-up both the nurse and the nutritionist urged me not to do that. I still do it because it helps me be aware. However, I will hit a new low and then bounce back up a bit. Earlier on the yo-yo up and down was a bit more. Now it is about a pound though it can be two pounds by the end of the day (I don't often weigh more than once a day). At first, it was very disconcerting when I would see the the weight jump up a bit. After weighing daily, I can kind of sense when the weight is going to be a little higher or lower. It depends - did I drink all of my water and get in all of protein? Have I been regular or constipated the past couple of days? Have I been able to exercise and adequate amount? Also, the bounce-ups have gotten to be less as time goes by. So, yes! It freaked me out. I thought I must be eating way too much etc... However, I refocused, and I used an app to track daily calories etc... The weight loss is not linear. Yes! I have felt like I was going to fail, and that I must be doing something wrong. Yes, I feel like I need to work on being better about somethings. So, you are not alone in bouncing up and down. You are not alone in feeling like this won't work. At my one month check-up I asked if my weigh loss was on-track - and the nurse moved the screen to show me where I was and where they would like me to be - and yup - I was on-track. I wish you the best on this journey - it isn't easy!
