I am going to kill the same 2 pounds



Recommended Posts

Is this normal? I lose 3 pounds but the next day I gain 2 of the pounds back? So really I've only lost one. This keeps happening. I know I am not on a stall because I lose that one pound. I am 8 weeks today out of surgery. Isn't too soon to start slowing down on the loosing? On May 31 day of surgery I weight 267 and today I weigh 234 that 33 pounds, I feel like I should of lost more by now. Uuuggghhh so frustrating. Thanks for hearing my rant.

This why it is not recommended to weigh every day because the fluctuations will drive you crazy. Good luck.

This is why lots of places say you shouldn't weigh everyday. Water weight fluctuations, menstrual blood getting ready for your next period, and time of day can make your weight fluctuate +/- 5 pounds.

On another note, you are losing 30 pounds in less than 2 months...which is 15 pounds per month. This is the norm, especially without exercise added in.

I'm May 16 and down 40 pounds post op so pretty close. I have a 2 pound bounce EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOSE! SO FRUSTRATING! And, I only lose weight every other week. One week I lose sometimes up to five pounds then the next week the bounce ending in 0-1 pounds that week. My body just seems to need to do this to rebalance. I'm not changing anything from week to week. I do enter my weight on fatsecret everyday almost and that little chart lets me know 1)my weight is trending down despite the little bumps so it is okay and 2)I am in a week when I am likely to bounce or not lose. Being able to see those two things helps keep me from going crazy.

      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.
