Had surgery 2/26/13, last week was down to 217. Just weighed and it was 233. WTF?

Something's up....either the scale was wrong last week, the scale is wrong this week, you have 16 pounds of poop build up, or you have 16 pounds of Fluid on you.....that equates to 7000 calories a day and I'm seriously doubting you are capable of the right now!!!! Don't panic!! Breathe!!! And start checking it out, have you pooped, are you puffy, are the scales right????

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 225

Put new batteries in the scale if they haven't been changed in a while

I understand too. I was weighed at my nut appt on March 25 I was 228 and today same scale was 229. Tomorrow is my 6 week post surgery day. Is this normal? Maybe someone can shed some light on this for both of us? I walk 60 minutes a day. Having trouble getting all my protein and water in. Calories per day under 750. Thx.

Thank goodness someone said batteries. Put new ones in and weigh 216.8. I have been eating other things and just knew I had done something. I'm just 7 days away from getting to eat regular food. Maybe this was a way to tell me.....DON'T PUSH IT

Darn digital scales......

Nope not I, after the hell of two bands this was the golden ticket for me....I had a coworker with duodenal switch and she either had a bad surgeon or just rotten luck. She ended up on TPN feedings off and on for a very very long time. Not to mention she had other issues that were over looked during a psych eval. The RNY has been the gold standard of WLS . The surgeons are performing different malabsorbtive techniques with RNY now as to not have the horrific complications of malnutrition and Vit deficiencies. Still there are risks with any major surgery, you have to feel you have chosen the right procedure for you. Watch out for the "mills" many WLS MD's are doing the surgery then only see you for one year. If you needed a revision or had an issue you are SOL with those MD's . Researching these surgeries is very educational. I for one researched the heck out of the band and I ended up here with RNY and wished I chose it first.......

Lol I just found out this above reply in my signature line instead of my weight ticker sorry again.... OMG what a mess....

Somedays you will go up a pound, next day lose 2. Normal

Yep I am 4 1/2 months out and have gained 2-3 pounds at least 3 times. I just lost the 3 I gained last week. It seemd to be water but takes a week to get rid of. I think it is PMS but I've been so wonky with TOM I could be wrong. But a small gain is normal. I did this before RNY so no shocker that I am doing it now.
