Ugh. My surgery was 6/2 lost 30lbs so far but now my scale is going up cpl pounds. Frustrating. Only changes i can come up with, I stopped taking my blood pressure meds which include a water pill. I stopped them due to cramps at night and BP has been good.

I gained 7 lbs when I stopped my BP meds. They help your body eliminate excess fluids. I went back and took them again for a few days just to be sure and yup, they help you lose excess Water but no fat.

Thank you,did you stayed off? I'm not retaining water no puffiness but I'll go without .

@@mizzanke Hi there and congratulations on your surgery -- we can't tell from your profile what kind you had, etc. If it's Lapband, the process of getting adjustments can take a while but it is all happening. Don't worry about a few pounds here and there. It's hard not to obsess about the scale but maybe putting it away for a bit while you go through the learning curve and get to know your new mode would help. Glad you're here on the forum!

I did discontinue using furosemide and HCG. They make my skin blotchy and any minor scrape causes excessive bleeding. I know I could go back on them and drop 5-10 lbs of excess fluids but I feel better without them. It's just the part of getting over what the scale says.

Thank you everybody! I had lapband I'm trying to update my profile.

I miss spaghetti ????. Lol
