Three Weeks Out

[AnnieGreen 84]

I'm currently on the puree'd foods. I am, as I think many of us are, very tired of whey Protein. I can start on soft foods next Thursday. But things are going well. I am a bit more tired than I thought I would have been, but I find a nap during the day seems to perk me up.

Prior to surgery, I was taking 17 different medications (metabolic syndrome) plus a shot twice a month; I am now taking 4 medications, plus the two shots. No high blood pressure, no heart angina, no osteoarthritis. So overall right now, feeling pretty great on top of it.

I do have a question; while I am loosing steadily, once in a while I have a day where it goes up just a bit (about half-one pound). Am I doing something, or is this just one of the attempts of my body to find equilibrium with the weight loss?

Thanks!

Our bodies can fluctuate 2-3 pounds on a daily basis. For me, it was a bit less so after surgery. In my opinion, you're well within standard deviation. Good luck!

something as simple as more sodium intake on a particular day can cause and up tick, I would not worry about it
