Omg! I have been exercising for almost 3 months now 4-5 days a week consistantly n the scale would go up n down 1-2lbs. Now this week I didnt do any exercise n I dropped 3lbs. I dnt know what it is I guess it depends on ur body. Do u think that u still should exercise even if ur a very active person???

I'm so glad you posted this! I'm going through the same thing. I'm not sure what we should do? I'm getting enough Protein and drinking about 100 ounces of Water a day, and limiting carbs. But if I exercise 2 or 3 days a week I keep fluctuating the same 1-2 lbs.

This week I worked out one day and I've lost 4 lbs. I have NO clue what's going on with my body?!?!

Well ladies or gents, I am in the same boat. I have even hired a personal trainer. I have been at the same weight for about 4 weeks, until today. I finally lost a pound. I can't figure it out and neither can my trainer. Just keep at it. I know I feel great. It should eventually come off. We sure are working our butt off for this. I wish I was being literal. LOL

Weight flucuations, do to Water retention et.. I workout 6 days a week and weigh myself once a week. I have not seen the scale go up. However I went a couple weeks only lossing a pound or two. The next week the scale finally moved 4.5 pounds down.

Absolutely keep working out! There are so many wonderfull benefits. I won't list because you probably already know them.

Also, instead of just the scale, focus on other signs of fat reduction by taking measurements and/or how your clothes fit.

Hope all this helps. Best of luck!

That was happening to me, until I started to keep drinking 100+ oz Water and keep a min of 70 grams of Protein a day and added exercising 6 days a week. Any gain I see is minimal and it's muscle wich burns fat, so win win :smile2: I do Hip Hop Abs so it's also almost not exercising and more like dancing :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
