Apparently the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after a wee.

My weight is always about 4llbs difference. It doesn't really matter though, just make sure you weigh at the same time of the day and you will be able to map your weight loss :D

Oh big time. Pre-op it could be 7-8 pounds. Now 2-3. My last baby I remember getting scolded one month for gaining 10 lbs in a month and then getting scolded the next month for "dieting" and losing 11--it was just afternoon vs morning appointments but no one believed me!

probably Water retention - may want to look at salt intake if you retain a lot. mine fluctuates 2-3 lbs. Ten pounds seems like a lot unless you are weighing in your birthday after your first trip to the bathroom and your other weigh-ins are fully dressed with shoes and after you have ate and drank Water.

Of course it does! Between eating, drinking, additional Water, clothing....you name it. That's why I only weigh first thing in the morning and disregard what the scale may say in the day. The difference can be huge sometimes!

Oh, and not to be gross, but I've weighed, gone poop, and weighed again after. It can be a half a pound difference sometimes! Lol...

Why weigh yourself 3 times a day? Yes your weight will fluctuate between waking up, noon and evening. Perfectly normal, everyone's weight does this. Your AM weight, especially after visiting the potty tends to be your lowest. Your body is coming off and 8 hour fast. By noon and evening, you've eaten and had liquids. Step back from the scale.< /p>

my weight goes up and down like 10lbs too. I just always get on the scale when I go to the bathroom. Its exciting to me! I love losing this weight and it still has not set in yet! I do notice when I get my full day of Water and Protein though it does not go up and down as much.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
