I am a month out n was doing good.just got to all foods this week but I am still barely eating. And the last 3 days not only is the scale not going down but its going up??? I don't undersdtand. If the scale is right I've gained 2.4lbs n 3 days. Trust me, not eating enuff to be anywhere near gaining weight. Did anyone else have this issue? I thought I was retaining Water but now I don't know

I did between weeks 3 and 4 I stalled and even put on a pound or two. Don't worry it will start going down again. Are you getting enough Protein and Water? I am @ 6 weeks and it's going down again so don't let it get you down.lol

The scale is a funny thing. I think for the majority of us we don't lose weight EVERYTIME we step on the scale...your body fluctuates a lot during the day. See the link below for a great explanation of how stalls and weight loss work. http://www.dsfacts.c...or-plateau.html

I personally feel that we lose and then bounce a little (water weight) and then drop and back and forth. I use the Wii Fit Plus program to track my weight. It graphs it out and a pattern emerges with decrease, slight increase, hover a little and then a good size decrease and so on.

Before WLS, I would have freaked out to see the scale go up but now I know it is part of the process and a little give and take is alright. Overall, if you follow your plan you WILL lose. I actually like the slower rate so my body can adjust and I can keep up with toning what is left . It is strange how my feelings have changed so drastically about the drive to lose weight...by taking a more relaxed and stress free approach I think it has helped me enormously on this long marathon of a journey!

I have lost almost 32# in 9 weeks which I think is GREAT!! Especially since I don't have to see that 32# again!!! This whole process is like starting all over and learning to eat again from scratch.

Good luck and just stay focused on the final prize.

I just stay away from the scale for a few days so I don't freak myself out.

No need for panic, it happens. As long as you are not eating less, chewing more, keeping yourself well hydrated, and upping your metabolism with exercise, it will eventually come off.

Even if you don't exercise, stay off the scale.. If your set on weighing yourself.. Do it at the same time.. Your weight fluctuations are patterned as well.. I find every 3-4 days is fine at first.. But now I'm on scale like once s week if that.. I'm completely happy with the results. And the losing weight is actually not near as important as how I feel day in and day out..
