So today i concentrated in drinking Water and i drank maybe 40oz

I stepped on the scale and I gained 3 pounds !!!!!!!! What is going on

[Babbs 14,681]

How far out are you?

[Daisee68 2,493]

​Never weigh yourself at night. you always gain weight during the day. Weigh first thing in the morning and then not again until the next morning (or better yet the next week same morning same time). You will stay much saner.

I will be a month out on Oct 7th

I am going to have to hide my scale

[Daisee68 2,493]

​I am 4 months out and weigh every morning, but I am able to shrug off the small gains. Mine will go down 1 pound then up half a pound then down .6 then back up .5, etc. etc. As long as it keeps going down, I'm good. Have you looked at your measurements? That is important because even when you aren't losing pounds, you are often losing inches.

[Babbs 14,681]

Yeah, just normal fluctuations from Water retention or whatever. No worries. Like you said, hide your scale and weigh periodically if it's going to drive you nuts

My big mistake was not to measure myself before surgery but i guess I shall start somewhere I will measure today

@@quevedo05 - I made the same mistake but better to start somewhere as you said. Try on a pair of pants from pre-op. You will see your body has changed.
