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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chica125kml 0 Posted December 9, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katy Castro 1 Posted December 9, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noturningback15 45 Posted December 10, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DebH 1 Posted December 10, 2010 the last two days has been rough for me. i went back to work monday first thing i did when i got there at 4:30 in the morning was i got on the scale and noticed i gained two pounds back. since then Ive been very depressed cause i have been tring very hard to watch what i eat. i barely got my lap band on the 19 of nov. 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!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
