So, for the first time since my surgery, I gained weight this week. I gained 2.6 pounds. I know what I did though. I didn't track one day, and I over ate another day. I also didn't drink enough Water or eat enough Protein. Onward!

Yeah...welcome to maintenance. ;) It's too early for you to be here yet. Good that you know where you derailed and it's a learning experience. And sobering...

Get back at it girl!

Don't stress, it is highly unlikely that it is fat. Plenty of things effect the numbers on the scale. Fat gain and loss is really what we are all watching for, because it is unnecessary storage. Other fluctuations will happen regularly. Kudos on catching the pattern and repairing it quickly.

(I gain and lose every month. The joys of womanhood lol)

Safe Journey!

I'm still in week 1 and I know I have not gotten my Water in nor my 60gm of Protein daily. The Protein has come pretty close,but I'm wondering if it will impede weight loss or if the weight will just come off anyway?

If you're in your first week, just focus on doing your best. It's tough to get enough Water and protein in at first, cause you're still healing. Just do the best you can to get what your doctor recommends. I did see a loss my first week, but not everyone does. If you don't, it doesn't mean that it's not working; it just means that your body is still healing.

177 pounds down! Onward!!!!!!

Minor set back. First gain on the scale can mess with you a bit. Don't beat yourself down. Dust yourself off and get back to plan. Be consistent.

Crazy to know how fast a gain can happen. I eat off plan, It shows up on the scale three days later.

A little motivation for your day.

LOL! Thanks, @FluffyChix! I'm not letting it get me down. I can't get upset about a small gain. I've just got to get back to doing what I know works!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
