Had my surgery last week Monday. I would love to have a few friends and mentors

[Anne Marie Elias 15]

I lost a total of 20 pounds between the 2 week bariatric shakes (lost 10pounds) and my first follow up with my surgeon (another 10) he was so excited. Now I gained 3 pounds back and I can't figure out how.

I really want to make some friends here who can poke me with a sharp stick every once in a while!

I am a 49 yr old female who doesn't look like i weight as much as I do. I have a weird sense of humor and love to laugh! I need zome guidance on the eating portion s lol and encouragement for exercise. Talk to y'all soon!

If you've started eating solid foods, that could be the reason for the gain. My advice...eat similar to how you would do if you were on weight watchers. I eat 3 oz. Protein, 1/2 cup of veggies and 1/4 cup of carbs for lunch and dinner. I make sure to stay under 1200 calories a day and that worked extremely well. I've lost nearly half my weight and I've gotten my heath back. I can't ask for more than that.

Stay on this forum, read applicable posts and ask questions when you have them. You will absolutely find the friends and mentors you are looking for.

Hey cuz. Everyone's weight can go up and down 5 lbs in one day. It depends on how much you drink, TOM, sodium input, illness or stress. Don't sweat the scale going up or down now or even in the future. One day does not change the direction the scale is going unless you fall off the wagon for weeks. One day, even if you follow all the rules, your weight can go up or down, so if you're going to weight yourself every day, don't expect the scale to know the difference between a Water gain and fat loss.

BTW-I was Danny Waggoner all through elementary school. I'm going to be checking out that Jack Daniels connection too.

I doubt we're related, just having fun with same last names and being from the South. She had mentioned her family may be related to Jack Daniels? I looked up Jack Daniel's history and he had an uncle with the same last name we have/had. My Mom remarried so I dropped Waggoner when I was in High School.
