Not a good weigh in!

[Peterborough Guy]

Well here I am, just under four weeks post op, and this week I have put on 1 lb.

As far as I know, I have been good and not strayed or over eat on anything I should.

So I dont get it at all. As my clothes all feel looser, so it could be inches I am losing and not lbs.

I am going to phone my nurse up today to see if I can get back on my bike, as I need to get exercising more.

It's weight you've lost, just some weeks don't always register. I know you're a fella, but you still retain fluid at some degree. Just continue doing the good work and next week you'll see a great weight loss!!

Even 1lb is a loss and in the right direction and not a gain some weeks we don't seem to lose a lot others we surprise ourself with the large drop. Swings and roundabouts Gary you are getting there. Good luck with the exercise if you're allowed back on the bike.

 

[Kizzy70]

Don't get too disheartened Gary, just look how far you have come. I bet you have lost weight, our bodies do strange things sometimes, and you say your clothes feel looser - that's telling you more than the scales!!

You are doing so well, don't get disappointed by the scales

I feel for ya, I wouldnt mind if I knew I had been naughty and could account for the lb lol, oh well, no one said this would be easy lol

Hi PG, I put on 2lbs last week! I know that it wasn't an accurate read due to fluid retention but it still makes you feel crappy doesn't it.

I know that I did all the right things and that is what is keeping me going, besides it means I've got a good loss to look forward to this week.

Keep your chin up (remember you've only got one now!) and the scales will tell an entirely different story next week.

I'm not sure about offering advice, as I'm still pre-op, but I just wanted to send you a hug...((((()))))

Looking at your achievement to date, you have a lot to be pleased about, though it must seem a bit too crazy when you're trying so hard....
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the big hug
It's just so frustrating when you know you're doing everything right! Never mind, as you said I should be proud of myself for my achievement so far.
Thanks for your reply xx

[Peterborough Guy]

Well I just thought I would measure myself, and have lost 1/2 " of my tummy since the last measurement, so looks like im losing inches and not lbs lol

 

[penelope1008]

Go with the measurements, drink lots and if needs be something to ease other areas incase that's causing the up on the scales. Did you get the go ahead for your bikerides?
