Anyone gaining weight, while following the diet religiously? I know my body is going through major changes, I see a difference in clothing. I'm wondering if my new scale is playing with my head. If I wake tomorrow and I'm up...my new scale is going 6feet under! Lol

Small fluctuations in weight are normal...so attempting to resist the temptation to weigh yourself every day is important. One can avoid many negative thoughts and disappointments when you weigh yourself weekly.

I gained 5 pounds after my gall bladder surgery, which is normal post op with swelling and Fluid retention. It was gone within 10 days.

Don't blame your scale...and be certain to weigh yourself at the same time of the day, but not every day!

I gained 10 pounds in 5 days! I'm convinced my scale is messing with my head. It's impossible!!! The one I have is digital...I might be buying an old school dial tomorrow! I can calibrate that bad boy. :)

Get rid of your scale. Weigh at your Drs. office . Use your clothes as a guide to what you weigh.

You are going to drive yourself nuts!!!

I dont want to become obsessed with the scale (because I can see myself doing that) so for now, my plan is to weigh in only at my drs appts for the fills or follow ups. ----there is no scale in my home----

I also don't keep a scale at home. Weigh in about 2 times a month. I think it works for me to not being obsessed with daily fluctuations good luck with your decision

I refuse to buy a scale because it will only cause frustrastion stress and anxiety. Avoidind the triggers for emotional eating.

I too am no friend of the scale. I will use one infrequently. But I know my clothing well and seem to always have great weekdays. Weekends are a little challenging. But all good

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
