So I'm day 14 on opti and this morning I have gained a pound!  No not lost, not stalled, but gained!  I know it will come off in a day or two but it really is a kick in the arse when you are being so compliant and somehow this happens.  Serenity now.....serenity now.....that's better

I know it's hard but stay off the scale. Weight is going to fluctuate from day to day and it is frustrating when it happens to go up when you're doing all the right things. Perhaps set a day of the week for your weigh in day and be in for a pleasant surprise.

Thanks, it's good advice and I know you're right.  Will try to put it off for a few days or a week even.  Surgery on Dec. 9 so I am very excited about that and want a nice head start on the weight loss.  I'll stay on track and keep the endgame in mind

My body weight is different on the same day by 2-4 lbs.. Sometimes more. I can "gain " 3-5 lbs in one week and lose it in the same week.. 

I recently had surgery.. Total 5 hours in a hospital.. Came home 7 lbs heavier.. 

Thank you!  Nice to know I'm not the only one....will keep this in mind and keep my chin up!

I had the same response on the liquid/clear diet.

I thought, 'If I can gain weight off of broth, jello, and tea. I really NEED this surgery."

thanks so much, a unique and good perspective :)

Water weighs 7.8 lbs per gallon.  You can put on 3# just by staying hydrated and then lose it by breathing, taking a dump and urinating.

Don't stress over the day-to-day stuff.

Dog girl,

No worries, you have come to the right place. Just stay on your path and it will happen.

Thanks Robin!  Glad I hung in here, finally lost a pound this morning as a matter of fact!  Surgery in 4 days and I am very excited
