its probably a stall give it a couple weeks, just look at the big picture monthly loss

It could just be Water weight. Without more details, like how far out you are, what you're eating, your exercise regimen, etc etc, it's kind of hard to guess why you've seen a gain. BUT, don't fret the scale will go down.

If you're working out, gaining muscle, it's probably Water weight, if you're female, it could be just good ole' water weight, if you're not getting in enough fluids it could water retention, if you're eating too much or not getting enough calories it could your body holding onto weight, if your bowels aren't moving regularly take a good poop(harsh, but true) and you'll see the scale move.

if i am reading your ticker correctly you have lost over 70lbs since 8/24/10. you are doing excellently i could only hope for such good results after i'm sleeved. i am 20lbs heavier than when you started and if i could even loose 50lbs in the time that you lost 70lbs i would be extremly greatful. don't be so hard on yourself, you are doing great. keep up the good work and congratulations.

      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.
