WTF - gained inches?!

[notmyname 591]

So, I know this is a journey, and it'll start going the right way, and blah, blah, blah. So I just want to rant. I take my measurements once a month. As of today, I'm 3 months out from surgery. I lost 10.6 lbs this last month. And somehow I GAINED 1.25 inches on my waist. Also gained 0.25 inches in each calf. Lost inches everywhere else (except my neck, which is the exact same size it was before surgery), but still just a touch irritating. I know I measured at the end of the day vs. in the AM, so there's food in there, but it can't be 1.5 inches worth of food/liquid.

OK, rant over. Focusing on the fact that I'm losing, and that I'm still almost 34 inches down over my entire body (bust, chest, waist, hips, both thighs, both calves, both upper arms, neck). And am down 70.6 lbs overall - roughly 50 since surgery.

Try it again in another day or two, and definitely in the morning. It's probably Fluid.

Thanks - I mentally know this. Just irritating. Need to remember to measure in the AM next month.

re-measured this AM. Actually lost an inch at my waist over the month. Phew! Although that means that means I had 2.25 inches of Fluid retention yesterday. Need to look at that. I eat almost no salt (in fact my doc says I need to eat a bit more), so not sure what it is.
