Ugh. My surgery was 6/2 lost 30lbs so far but now my scale is going up cpl pounds. Frustrating. Only changes i can come up with, I stopped taking my blood pressure meds which include a Water pill. I stopped them due to cramps at night and BP has been good.

I gained 7 lbs when I stopped my BP meds. They help your body eliminate excess fluids. I went back and took them again for a few days just to be sure and yup, they help you lose excess Water but no fat.

@@mizzanke Hi there and congratulations on your surgery -- we can't tell from your profile what kind you had, etc. If it's Lapband, the process of getting adjustments can take a while but it is all happening. Don't worry about a few pounds here and there. It's hard not to obsess about the scale but maybe putting it away for a bit while you go through the learning curve and get to know your new mode would help. Glad you're here on the forum!

I did discontinue using furosemide and HCG. They make my skin blotchy and any minor scrape causes excessive bleeding. I know I could go back on them and drop 5-10 lbs of excess fluids but I feel better without them. It's just the part of getting over what the scale says.
