What the.....!



Recommended Posts

I weighed on Sunday. 339 lbs (40 lbs lost)

I weighed this morning - gained 10 lbs. I have been watching my calorie and fat consumption and over the last four days average calorie - 970 average fat 29 grams. How is a ten pound gain even possible over for days? I hate my body right now.

I weigh once a week. It will drive you crazy if you get on the scales every few days. Just stick to the plan....protein, Water, Vitamins, exercise and change ;)

Try not to get frustrated. You can show a gain in weight from Water retention, for bowel back up, if you consumed anything prior to weighting, clothing, ect. There are a lot of reasons the scale will show a gain when you really haven't gained.

I know it's hard not to flip out because Lord knows I have a few times, but likely it's not a true gain.

If you don't, it is always best to weight fist thing in the morning after going potty and in your birthday suit. I do this and chart my weight each day and mine can range several pounds from day to day depend on salt in take (water rention), if I have popped or not, if I have a cold, the time of the month, the moon (kidding here, but you get my drift.)

There are so many reasons for the fluctuation...the batteries on you scale may need to be replaced, you ate some salty foods and you are retaining fluid.... You aren't drinking enough liquid.... Try not to stress... Just keep sticking to your plan....it will come off.

I agree with all the above posters. You're sticking to plan so don't be hard on yourself.

My husband got weighed the other day before his shower, took shower weighed and gained 4 lbs. It doesn't make sense.

Make sure your drinking your 64 oz of Water, its important. Watch sodium, eat your Protein.

I weight every morning right after the bathroom I don't want to miss the one day that the scale goes down. then I put it on my calendar so I can see the patern its amazing how it goes up and down fro day to day. I know I eat right now so I know it will go down its just a matter or what day in which week...keep tracking and working forward it will happen.

Weigh in weekly and take what your get. This week alone I gained 3 pounds one morning and had lost 4 by the next day. No panic if you know you are following the rules, the weight will come done.

I gained three pounds overnight too but am not worried about it as I know exactly what it is. Last night I had a little bit of eggplant dip and it tasted very salty considering I have hardly any salt anymore. Normally I'm up at least three times a night to go to the bathroom and I didn't get up once last night. So the salt in the dip caused some retention.

As long as you're doing all the right things as others have said its only a temporary gain.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
