Your weight can vary 5-6 lbs a day depending on what you ate, when you weighed yourself? It's quite easy to gain 5 lbs just by eating too much sodium or carbs. Most of the initial weight you lose is just Water. You'll really only lose 2-8 lbs of "fat" a month but you can lose or gain much more water weight in the initial phase. I'm no expert on female conditions but I also understand you can gain weight during your period? So, it's no big deal. You may lose that lbs of water over the next few days as long as you control your intake of carbs and sodium.

As hard as it can be try NOT to weigh yourself everyday (unless you think you have not been eating healthy). I try to only weigh myself once or twice a week and when I do I try to do it at the same time of day...in the morning before I eat... and wear the same clothes. That helps cut down on variances we have throughout the day. Also if my rings are feeling tight I figure I may be retaining Water and skip the weigh in. It's a lot easier psychologically to not see a number that is higher than it is to see the number but know it is probably just water weight.

With the weather most of the country has been having, I would say blame it on the heat!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
