Just keep hydrating and if it continues see your doctor.

It is mind blowing to watch the scale rise, especially so suddenly after surgery. Part of me is relieved, part of me is still going, oh hell!

To our Jewish members, may you be blessed with a safe and happy Passover.

Good for you. Have you lost the extra 10-20 lbs below where you want to end up to account for bounce back? I got to my normal at 145 at 7 months, I stalled, then lost more. I got down to 121for a hot ten seconds 18 months. I stayed the course, ended up gaining back to 145 without changing...

Last week 121 This week 120 I’m comfortable at this weight. I don’t feel like I’m too small and yet, I’m small enough. So I’m trying to stay here. I did cut back on carbs a bit, but not much. I notice it but no one else would.

Way to go. I’m gonna move this to the Sharing My Journey board. That way you can keep it updated.

Way to go!

Good for you. And you are doing great.

I’m fine right where I am. Thanks for asking.

Last week 119 This week 121 It seems the culprit was the extra dose of Topamax. I went back on the lower dose so I should start leveling out. So now, I now need to level out on the carb consumption. I had been overindulging to gain. Well, I’m doing that so now I need to rein it in.

Charles and I still jokingly say we have Swiss cheese brains. As long as the holes don’t line up, we’re okay.

Good luck but you have the right attitude about it.

Get some Biotene (even the generic works) and use it. I had a severe case of dry mouth a few years back that developed into a case of ANUG. Don’t be me. https://bariatricfacts.org/threads/i%E2%80%99m-whining-now-updated-10-4.13318/
