I'm about a month and a half out from my surgery, and I've lost 43 lbs. My scale number on Friday morning said 315 lbs. This morning, it was 317-318. Think this is just normal fluctuation?

My diet hasn't changed, and I'm getting in my 60-80 grams of protein a day and all my water. I did try something this weekend that I ordered from the bariatric pal store, the guilt-free brownies that have 22 grams of protein in them per brownie.

(Could only eat half a brownie at a time)

I still ate under 700 calories per day. Weight gain makes little sense to me at this point unless it's just fluctuation or retaining a bit of water

Nah, the starting weight is my highest weight, from the doctor's visit that got me started on this whole process. I was 360.8 the day of surgery.

So that's still nearly 50 lbs, which is really great. I also have lost over 100 lbs (45 since RNY) and I'm just wondering if my body needs to rest for a moment and readjust. I don't know. Are you getting in all of your protein and water? I haven't been so maybe that's my problem...

Definitely getting in all my protein and water. Some days, I think I might have slightly higher sodium intake and retain water.

Was 311 this morning. I think I'm on track to be below 300 within a couple weeks.

Just keep on keeping on!
