diana89131 258 Posted July 31, 2013 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.

Richard Foor 655 Posted July 31, 2013 This why it is not recommended to weigh every day because the fluctuations will drive you crazy. Good luck. 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirana 7 Posted July 31, 2013 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.

Fixerupper 335 Posted July 31, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
