Transitions and gains

[susancwalker2008 70]

I am going on from a soft food diet to introducing foods. I am staying within the dietary guidelines per my NUT, however, the last couple of days I am seeing gains. Small, all be it, but gains. Once I see a pound gone, I just want it gone. I don't want to see it creeping back up in oz. I need this to work. I am giving up alot here and I just need to feel like all this work and sacrafice is going to payoff and its not just a diet I tried and failed. Thanks.

The first 4-6 weeks after surgery are for healing, not losing. Some do lose during this time but a lot don't. Your body has just been through surgery, you're still healing, and you're on a very limited diet. Plus, it's normal for your weight to fluctuate a couple pounds (yes, pounds not just ounces).

Just keep doing as your NUT advised and the weight loss will come.

Im feeling the same way. I had my surgery on 2/20 and I was expecting a magical amount of weight gone. However as Missy said we are still in the healing stages.

You should measure your self and go by inches lost...I was driving myself batty with the scale going up and down, but regardless of the scale my clothes were just getting looser and that is what I focused on

this is exactly right...the scale goes up all day long. drink 16oz and your up that. pee it out and your down...its crazy to constantly weigh weigh weigh....do it if it helps but if you are constantly focused on that magic number, you are driving yourself crazy. .....100% judge by how loose your clothes are (are they too big)....do you feel better...ounces come and go....inches stay gone
