So the last time I was at the dr in the beginning of April they said I weighed 199 and it's been almost 2 months since then I haven't lost as much as I thought I should a total of maybe 10 were lost, gained again, lost and according to my scale gained again!! I dont know what I'm doing wrong! I could have lost 5 lbs. a month by myself without surgery!! I just don't know what to do anymore it's just not happening for me

I think you should go back to exercising 5 days a week until then..

.that way they can't say that's it. You've got all of your T's crossed so to say: )

I've been walking and I went back from 188 to 181 but it shouldn't be that easy to gain the weight back just because I took a small amount of time off from exercising!

You're right...do u watch your sodium intake? Do u retain Water? Hormone changes and things make you retain water sometimes. I'm definitely pulling for you over here!: )

Yes! High sodium intake cause water retansion...stay focus you'll do fine if not, then book an appt w/your dietician.

Yep only minimum of sodium!!! Thanks so much panda!

Can you get in to see your nutritionist sooner than 6/11? Maybe bringing her some food journals she'll be able to help you figure out the next step in eating that will help?

I've tried they are all busy until July so the soonest appointment I could get was actually at my surgeons office!!
