My scales go up and down all the time. I stall, I gain, I lose etc. Day 10 is super early, so don't even bother with weighing. You will be fine!

The best gauge for losing is the fit of your clothes. It they feel and look looser.....you're losing.

I can tell immediately if I have gained or lost by how my clothes fit. They are also my motivation. And when they fit correctly or become loose....my biggest satisfaction.

Plus the added bonus......when they get loose....you get to go buy new clothes.

Pay no attention to the scale.

@@blu2020 It's most likely Water gain or constipation. Don't worry - stick with the plan and you'll be fine!!!

Thanks everyone. First docs appointment today.

I had my surgery on 8/24/16. It was a very easy process for me. No pain, no issues and do glad I did it. I was a one half self pay (Had hernia thank goodness haha). My doctor, Brad Marker Dothan AL is the best. He told me not to weigh for the first 2 to 3 weeks and I haven't. He said my body was still get adjusted and it might disappoint me. Don't get my wrong I have had the urge to weigh but decided to listen to him. I think I will weigh at the end of the week. I know I have lost cause my clothes are baggy. I have worn things I have not worn in 2 years (pants) so that's exciting. I did weigh at his office a week out from surgery and had lost 5 pounds.

I have not really wanted much to eat. Only been hungry one time. Yay!!

Protein shakes are my go to.

Do not get discouraged. Just do what the doctor says. They know.

I don't even own a scale because I would be too obsessed with it. I know I am loosing because I went from 2xl tops to large and 2xl pants to xl pants. My over the shoulder boulder holders don't fit either.

I gained 5 lbs the week before my period. Then I took some constipation relief pills two days before my period was due and I spent the entire afternoon running for the washroom and urinating. Next day, I was 5 pounds less.

4 days after the period, three pounds more came off.

Sorry if it's too much information..
