I am 10 weeks about from my RNY. I weigh once a week. It seems that my average is to lose 3-5 lbs./week. However, last week I dropped much more - from 254 to 248. I was so excited. So I weighed a few days later to see if I was on a roll - and the scale went back to 253-254. I'm logging my food faithfully, getting in my Protein, Water and my calorie counts are typically 600-800/day. So I'm confused - why would the scale jump six pounds? Should I be worried?

Do you still have your monthly visitor? Could be that's all it is, looks to me like you're crossing all the t's, dotting all the i's so it is odd. Just keeping doing what you're doing and i think you'll be fine and dandy. Keep moving toward the big prize of RnY, I'll be joining you,on the same journey.

It happens - could be Water, poo, maybe you were a little dehydrated on the day you had a low weight or just your body being crazy. I've had weeks like that where I went down several pounds or up several pounds unexpectedly and things always seem to straighten out after another few days. The rapid weight loss is such a shock to your body at this point and now it's just trying to figure out what the heck is going on :) You'll figure out the patterns for your weight loss over time - I typically have 2 reasonable weeks, then one "gain" and then 1 week with a bigger loss each month. And magically that "gain" is always a predictor of my period - stupid hormones!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
