Nothing! through out our day the scale will go up and down..also during our period, what you eat, etc.! I only weigh myself now when I first wake up...have had no food, hardly any clothes, etc. and that is the number I go by (tracking)...so much can make our weight fluctuate during the day...you will drive yourself crazy. So, pick ONE time to weigh and stick to it....and expect to sometimes go up a bit...it will be ok, it WILL go back down :) Been There Done That! lol...I am 6 months out....down about 56 lbs.

Ok great. Thank you for your advice. I have a schedule that every Thursday I weigh myself when I get up. It is the time of the month to. ????

I've been going up and down 2 lbs for a month now. It is getting tiresome, but it happens. Weight loss is not linear.

I'm fighting a 5 lb swing - it's scary as hell! But I know what I'm doing wrong & when I get scared, go back to doing what's right.

The tool is there - I have to remind myself to use it sometimes.

I weigh myself once a week, Monday morning, before I get in the shower. That's my official number. It used to drive me crazy when I weighed myself daily, since I would go up and down for seemingly no reason.

Of course, it gets a little awkward at the doctor when I strip completely naked before stepping on the scale... :D

Hi try not to stress about it. It will happened and always remember when we females are on our cycle that will change so that can also be a factor.

Weight loss is not a Fluid process. If you put it on a graph, it would look more like steps of stairs than a downward slope...down, up, flat. Fluctuations are normal for the reasons stated above.

Now if you know you haven't been following your plan when your are further out and basically eating too much of the wrong things, then you will know at that point if it's just normal fluctuations or what you've been eating. It's a balancing act of sorts ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
