Yesterday- Protein shake, fat free cream of chick lunch, and last night puréed chicken with fat free sour cream, not counting my water!

What the hell?!

Don't freak out. This sometimes happens. believe it or not your body is still healing and trying to figure out whats going on. When you start eating regular food things should straighten out. It could also be just fluid retention. Keep drinking water and following your dr rules.

Good luck

1. You are healing, stop watching the weight so closely. Yea, I know it is hard not to, but really stop it.

2. Sodium, I gained 4 pounds over night during my healing phase when I had a can of chicken noodle Soup. It had more sodium in one can than I normally eat in two days.

3. See #1

Don't Worry. I know its super frustrating so early on to see the scale go back up, however, to the point of many other bandsters, it's going to be okay long run.

So many different reasons that this can happen. Remember the things that you can control in the mean time. Diet and sodium intake will help dramaticly. You can try using tools like My Fitness Pal to help track all your nutrition needs. Plus make sure you at least walk little bits everyday to keep things moving. You will go trough times that your body will freak out and hold on to things for a few days. Just remember to get in all your fluids and if the scale will change and go down. I promise!

Stay STRONG. You are already doing a great job! You have had GREAT loss so far. The rest will come. Cheers to your Success so far.

Calm down, back away from the scale! Healing!!!!Karen

Some wise bandsters told me to have patience during this time. This is something I had to work at very hard. But they are right....don't panic....have patience. Keep on keeping on.
