i understand a stall, but a gain? only 19 days after?

i gained 1/2 a pound!  can you believe that? i'm only on full liquids.  what a crock! i was barely dealing with a 3 day stall but a gain? i really hope it's just a passing phase.  what if things get worse once i start on soft foods?

From reading these boards, it seems that most people lose weight off and on, not evenly. That means stalls, not just 3 day stalls but 2 week stalls and 3 week stalls. Your body goes through phases of burning fat and rebuilding muscle.

Don't be so hard on yourself, you're doing great!

I think we'd all feel better if we only weighed once a month. Of course, I can't walk by the scale in the morning without checking it.

My 2 1/2 year old also weighs herself, then yells out random numbers. 345! 746!

This too will pass!  Not long after my surgery I gained 2 lbs one week and 2 pounds the next....I was hysterical.  But the next week those 4 pounds came off along with some more weight...I am now three months out and 60 lbs down...So you will be fine.  I quit weighting myself daily at that time.  As much as I am tempted, I only weigh myself once a week on Monday mornings.  It helps me not be so obsessed with numbers and more aware of how I feel and how my clothes are fitting me.  I promise...you will be okay!  Good Luck!

Its normal for a lot of people....I had and still have that, up and down but mostly down, weight fluctuates up and down at various times....you will lose the weight and lots more besides!

1/2 a pound?  We naturally fluctuate a little with fluids in our system etc.  My goodnes.  lol

Your a woman my dear. You will have water weight gain and swelling...Before you didn't realize how much a woman's weight will fluctuate, now you are paying very close attention to your weight and it is showing up. Back away from the scale. You are still losing...and it will show again soon.

Are you weighing yourself everyday? Our weight fluctuates. Mines went up 5 pounds in the middle of the day and come back down the next. This is why its best to pick one day, at one time...and weigh in. No more.

y'all always have a way of snapping me back when i start to go batty 

ok, no more *****ing and moaning.

thank you. 

I guess I'll be lucky - when I have my surgery I'll be in Korea, at a hotel after.  So unless I go to the surgeon I wont have access to a scale for 1 month.  I wont be able to be consumed with the scale.  I'll only be able to rely on how I feel and my clothes. 

(Warning: Practical Guy Talk)

Rember a Gallon of water weights 8.33 Pounds. That is two pounds per quart, or just over a pound per pint.

1/2 pound is ONE cup of water.

So don't freak out too much.
