I am confused... I hope I am not doing something wrong. I go to the dr tomorrow and I will show him myfitnesspal app with the journal of my days. I am getting 54 ish Proteins in a day. I am getting 50 oz of fluids in. My calories stay around 300 to 400. I am on puree foods at 18 day post op. I am getting all my Vitamins in.

After gaining 3 lbs on Saturday, I walk a slow pace for 30min on Sunday. And drank more fluids. I wake up Sunday and gained 3 more pounds.

Is this normal??? I have heard you can go up or down a pound or two but a 6 pound gain scares me at only 18 day PO. Please give me advise.

Thanks

Amanda

It's normal. As long as you are losing on a monthly basis, you are doing fine. I would stop weighing yourself so much. Thiese fluctuations are very normal.

I have been told to only way a few times a month. I think it is time to dump the scale. I will weigh only at the dr. I just didn't know that much of a gain is normal. If it is than the scale is gone. It is too much stress thinking the sleeve wasn't working or I was doing something wrong.

Thank you

Bye bye scale

You can gain and lose up to about 5 pounds in one day. Defiantly ditch the scale. Go by your clothes. That's how I did it. I weighed only once a month after I figured this out. On the clothes I know that when I started I was a size 24-26 and now I am in a 10! Don't need a scale to tell me that I lost a person! Lol

Sassygirl. That is fabulous!! How long did it take you to get to a size 10. I am still having a problem putting on my pants I was wearing pre op, (all too tight then) It make my tummy sore to put the slightest pressure. So I was going by that dang scale. I will wait another week and try some pre op clothes. I know the wait will all be worth it. Thank you for the advise.

Sorry so long to respond. I had my surgery in August 2011. I was a size ten by January 2012. I kind of stopped paying attention to what I was eating, and how many calories I was eating, so I stopped losing weight for a long time. But I have been back on track, and I have actually lost 18 pounds since January 1 st. I haven't gone down in pants size yet, but shirt size is smaller now. I still have weight to lose in my belly. I won't stop till I get there! Just don't give up. I bet since the last post you made those pants are loose now! Lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
