Getting frustrat
I got on the scale earlier this week and it said something crazy like I gained six pounds! Naturally I was saying WTF? I started thinking that I'm found something wrong. I am early out but geez I really do feel like I can eat a bit more than people say they were able to eat this early out! How much is everyone measuring out? I need to start being better about measuring because I DO NOT want to fall back in to bad habits this early. I haven't been back on the scale since because it just makes me feel bad and gets me discouraged. I have been pinning recipes on Pinterest and trying to eat my protein because me and the shakes aren't agreeing right now. Help!
thanks,

im 2 1/2 month out and I measure 4 oz of protein and then add 1/2 cup low carb veggies , usually some of the veggies are left over
I* eat 500-700 cal a day , 80 gm protein around 30 gm carbs
every thing is measured and tracked on myfitnesspal.com
Definitely measure and track everything - then you will have a good idea of what is going on. One thing to check is the batteries on your scale - if they need changing you can get some crazy readings. I always weigh twice when something seems too high or low...
Finally - it can be hormonal - just before Aunt Flo pays her visit my water weight can spike and the scale can go up some, not 6 lbs, but a few.
Hope that helps!
I am 10 months out and measure 2oz of protein and up to 1/4 cup of veggies. I could not see myself eating 4oz of protein like the previous poster, I wouldn't even try. I can sometimes eat 3 oz of fish because it sits differently then chicken.
I recommend measuring and tracking everything. I am 10 months post op and still do. It helps me stay accountable.
A fluctuation that much could be water intake, I always seem to increase on the scale around that time of the month.
Try to increase your water as well, that really can help.
Good luck!

I have been drinking a lot of fluids but I also just downloaded my fitness pal! I am going to start walking in the morning for thirty minutes because I haven't been cleared to work out like normal because of an incision that's been a pain in my rear! I will measure starting ASAP! I didn't go through this to see the scale go up for sure. I hope things start working out and I'm on the right path. I'm going to aim for 600-700 calls a day and see how that goes
