Dont get discouraged. your loss so far is great! Sometime people gain back some weight, it could be Water. Dont worry, just keep eating right and doing what our supposed to. It will catch up to you. Especially if you havent had a fill yet.

You're doing great! Keep it up!

I understand how you feel because I am always fluctuating in my weight. By my home scale I am down to 197 but at the doctors I'm 201. I know that it was a different time of day but does it really matter that much. Just don't get discouraged!! It will get better

Don't be discouraged! One of the hard things about weight loss is trying not to have our emotions be determined by a scale. It's just another tool to help you, not the beginning or the end.

Having said that, I have to ask -- you're up 2 lbs according to what scale? Were you on the same scale the last time you weighed yourself? And did you weigh yourself at the same of day both times?

I jump on the scale first thing every single morning. It's in my bathroom. But if I forget (and sometimes I do) I can't go back to the bathroom 10 minutes later -- it won't be the same as it would have been before I got myself up and moving around. And if I weigh myself at the end of the day, forget it! I'll be up 10 lbs. It's crazy.

Dont be sad because that 2lbs might just be wrong! I get up at 5AM every morning and weigh myself and by 10AM I am 2 to 3lbs lighter depending on if I have had Breakfast and coffee yet and did you know what in the restroom too. So 2lbs is nothing really.

I had the same experience at about the same time 3-4 weeks post op. I got on the scale and had gained 2 lbs and was besides myself crazy that I had failed again. It was then that I made a decision to only get on the scale once a week (same scale, same time) and that has kept my emotions at bay. I am losing very slow, which is rather disappointing, but NOT weighing myself everyday, keeps me sane! If you are watching what you eat and getting in your Protein it has to come off. Don't be so hard on yourself! (I have to tell myself that frequently!)

      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.
