completely disgusted....

I'm an every day weigher. I need to know the number. It doesn't make me freak out, but a rise of 4lbs overnight has me wondering what I did the day before. I get the vent and I'm not going to pander with advice that I know you won't follow cause I wouldn't either. :P

Things I review are-- did I drink all my Water? Did I hit my Protein goal? Did I eat late, or have something carby after 7pm? Did I have anything salty? Did I...........Go? Did I exercise?

If I did everything right and all my answers are satisfactory to me, I shrug it off. It's how our bodies are and if I am going to weigh every day, I get to see this kind of stuff. If I find something that I probably mucked up, let that be a lesson to me to stop or start doing it.

Biggest culprit for me is making sure my bowels move and getting in all of my liquids. Don't stress... review. And if you're TRULY doing everything right, let yourself off the hook, give it a few days and you'll see the scale go back down.

For me, that number is instant feedback on how I lived life the day before. Sometimes it gives me a clue. Sometimes it's just my body being my body. MOST times, there is something I need to pay more attention to, even if it's just a hint that Mother Nature is about to cop a squat.

Pardon me, but I USED to have bowel movements. Now... even after Fiber and a million glasses of Water a day , nothing. I know it may contribute

I would try a daily dose of Miralax. It works wonders!

I regularly gain 7 pounds in anticipation of aunt flow. SEVEN POUNDS.

Also, I'm not sleeved yet, but I'm on 800 calories a day and I lost a lot of weight rapidly, then gained back a few pounds and then stalled for two weeks and I HAVEN'T been cheating on my diet.. The scale finally started moving again and I lost the pounds I gained plus another one. I've read through these forums I KNOW that stalls happen I know that it's normal.. but it's something that is supposed to happen to OTHER PEOPLE.. NOT TO ME!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
