1-3 pounds. And honestly depends on when I weigh myself. If I weigh in the morning, I have no weight gain. If I weigh at night, I fluctuate. I'm 2 1/2 years out.

I gained 2-4 lbs this is day 3 as I had surgery on the 19. Not surprising since I was pumped full of fluids, bloated tummy and not going to the bathroom since before the surgery but not constipated yet either. I am taking in a Lot of fluids and it is passing just fine. So not expecting weight loss until off of medication and see the doc at the one week apt. It is fine, I know it will drop once regular life begins. But I'm in there with you. And being up a few.

You'll do fine. Keep positive and do what the doctors tell you. I thought I knew better found I don't didn't maximize my weight loss

Wow it's been so long since I've been back. Yesterday I celebrated my 5 YEAR Sleeve anniversary!!!!

I started this post and I'm back to say I'm 27 lbs. over my normal BMI goal. And a total 33 lbs. over my lowest weight.

I will tell you it's easy to do. My sleevie has been a HUGE blessing. I would totally have gained all my weight back by now. Like my surgeon told me, we can help you with this tool, however we can't fix your mindset. That would require some type of brain surgery which they haven't discovered for weight loss as of yet (well not that I'm aware of).

I will tell you it's an AMAZING TOOL, but NOT A FIX!!! or MIRACLE. My problem is I'm a huge snacker at work. I tell myself I don't finish my meals or eat that much at all...and it's true. However when I sit and think about every item I put in mouth during the day IT ALL ADDS UP. For some reason, for me at least, my sleevie wonder loves and tolerates Snacks VERY WELL lol.

I'm a huge lover of the weight watcher program especially TRACKING. I know what I need to do, and I will DO IT! I also stopped weighing myself thinking I would feel it in my clothes...I did and ignored it. I listened to others who said stop weighing. I don't blame them at all. I did this allllll by myself. I will admit I was a little crazy weighing all day lol. You have to find what works for you and stick to it.

So here's what I know I must do:

-Weigh daily or once a week (I will start tomorrow SUPER SATURDAY WEIGH in here I come )

-and TRACK MY food FOO

-stop blaming my age/hormones for the weight gain LOL almost 48, no excuses

try and continue to get my 10,000 steps in a day (love my fitbit charger)-

Hope these tips help. I know they are going to help me get back to where I need to be . I'm pretty content, but would like to lose 17 lbs and maintain there. I can do it. I've done it before. 90 lbs. to be exact.

I'm so thankful to my sleeve sisters who did random acts of kindness yesterday to Celebrate my anniversary. I also received a beautiful plant at home. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful sleeve family through this journey. We can't do this alone.

Happiness and Love to All!

I wish you all Best wishes during your journey
