alikelley 12 Posted August 19, 2016 I am struggling to stay on track. My surgeon told me in the beginning to stay at 225 but don't go below 219. I have bee. Fluctuating ever since. I got down to 215 and then decided to pull back my exercising and eat more carbs to put on the 4 pounds. Now I'm 233.5 and have my last appt (month 6 on Monday). I'm so fearful I'll have to start all over. Going back to the the ASAP. Very upset I stopped weighing myself. I know it's my time of the month now but I don't think it's Water weight. No weight at all! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
