Topic: WTH? The scale is moving... UP!!!
Okay, so I'm just over 3 week out from RNY. The scale has been slowly but surely moving down. I'd heard from a number of folks that they hit a stall around 3 weeks so I've been expecting that. However, I did NOT expect that the scale would go UP three pounds! WTH? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm very, very frustrated right now!! Any advice?
Topic: RE: Im hungry!!!
You're not on a clear LD if you're able to have SlimFast and Boost. But I digress...
You are staying hydrated right now and that is extremely important and that is probably your surgeon's preference moreso than getting solids in your new pouch. If you are having hunger issues, call your NUT and ask if you can progress to pureed's - or just add one puree to a meal time (i.e. instead of a boost, could you have some thinned out cream of wheat, etc.). There is no fee for calling & asking.
Good luck!

Topic: RE: 11 days out, only 9 pounds gone
It is hard not to compare but you really need to not do that to yourself right now! Do NOT focus on the number. Let your surgery work and you follow your plan. It will work for you and you will be happy with your results in no time.
Every body is different - we are not all going to lose at the same rate.
Give your body a chance and let your surgery work with you!!!
psst - and put your scale away for awhile...

Topic: RE: BM's? Kinda gross but gotta know...
I think it's great how after surgery the poo is all fluffy & floaty - sorry but I'm a mom of two young'ins and have to wipe butts all the time so I notice poop. But when mine was fluffy after surgery it cracked me up! Never seen that before.
As far as being normal - if it seems normal to you, then you're normal. If you feel constipated or bloated, then you probably need to add some fiber. Go by how you are feeling.

Topic: RE: Back to solid food... weight loss stalls?
When we are in starvation mode, our body has to compensate. Let it do it's thing and you'll see a drop on the scale again. I wouldn't call these plateaus. Just temporary adjustments that your body is going through.
You've got a long weight loss window of opportunity ahead of you. Try not to worry! Just stick to your plan and you will do just fine!!!
