The scale is fickle. A large fluctuation is just Fluid retention--nothing to worry about. (I know, it does play mind games. But you'll learn to take them in stride.)

My guess is you are weighing yourself everyday. The natural flucuations will drive you crazy. When I was loosing I only weighed myself once a week (well cheated a few times) and recorded it. Especially if it's gettting you discouraged I would think about getting on the scale less often. Good luck!

I feel the same way. I was banded on the 9/21/10 and lost 15.5 lbs in the first 6 days, gained 2.5 back this past Wednesday when I added 1 cup of creamed Soup per day to my liquid diet and I haven't budged since.

I know better than to do this to myself. I promised myself I'd be reasonable and not worry about losing weight for the first month. I'd let myself heal first then start worrying about losing but I have jumped on that darn scale every day for the past 11 days.

Personally, I'm going to blame this insanity on the hunger. :smile2:
