I usually wait until Wednesday but I am happy with today's weight, so I am going with it. I stayed the same. And I am OK with that, I know I am not in the fast moving stage and always happy not to be gaining. It has been weird lately... lots of bloating, constipation... food not agreeing... think it goes back to the hernia...5 weeks to getting it fixed. 
You would think with food not agreeing I would be eating less, but I feel like I am eating more...because I never feel satisfied and just out of balance.

Hooray some movement! Not much & its probably water weight. I worked my ass off the last couple of days shoveling snow. Hey did you know shoveling snow counted as a step? New one on me & I was getting the move & circle thingy on my apple watch completed too! So I did a purely selfish & unselfish thing by shoveling out my car, my neighbors car,making a path in front of a neighbors house & the corners near my house. Yeah me!

No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.

I weighed in on Thursday but was lazy in posting. I was up one pound, which may or may not have been true weight gain. It was the week before starting Optifast for 16 weeks, and I ate well for four days but then I was thinking of all the food I wouldn't get to eat for months and ate poorly for three days.
So far three days on Optifast have been fine. Because of my high weight and subsequently high BMR I am on 1100 calories, not 800. First day I got it all in, second and third days I've fallen a little short, probably because it was the weekend and I was sleeping longer and awake less long. Haven't really been super-hungry, just normal-hungry when I wake up. Using lots of spices and sugar-free syrups to make things more palatable.
