I would say your working out and building muscle. We all know muscle weighs more then fat. Take notice of how you feel and look. Sounds like your doing a good job ????

Water weight will fluctuate. If you're following your plan it definitely isn't fat.

A lb of fat and a lb of muscle weigh the same.. It's just a lb of muscle takes up less room. :)

I've got clothes I saved at different sizes. I've been all over the place in the past 4 years. So I'm so thrilled to be getting into things I saved. It's like they are new again. ???? I had thyroid removed 2 years ago. So now I'm stable. So as I lose I feel so happy.

I am a slow loser they say i have a decreased T3 i am 5 mos out and lost 44 lbs. i have to go to gym treadmil and bike 5x a week and strength training 3x a week. It is what it us andvthey cant give me anything for it so i have to work extra hard to lose and keep it off but now that i have regained my mobility now that i can tie my shoes cross my legs i will work as long as i have to and for thevrest of my life. Oh i live on sugar free ice pops to get the Water in also.

T3 is a slow metabolism.

Water retention - you need to be sure you're getting enough Protein and non caloric drinks. If you're not eating enough - you will not lose weight and your body holds on to everything.

What does your NUT suggest? You MAY not be eating enough to support your exercise level. You also may want to increase your Protein.< /p>

      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.
