to your doctors about this?

Hi ,

Please try not to worry. Your body has just undergone a drastic

change and needs time to adjust. It is perfectly normal to fluxuate a

little. I try not to weigh myself too often, but I have been one

weight one day, 5 pounds more the next, and then go down again. You

are doing great. Keep up the good work and just give it some more

time. Sorry I can't be of more help. Hang in there, everything will

be fine. Have you talked to your doctor? You should call him if you

are really upset, thats what he's there for. Also, work on getting

your water in. I know it is hard to get everything in you need right

after surgery but water is a key factor in weight loss.

I called, and his nurse just told me to increase my water, and watch

the amount of sugar and carbs in my protein. I looked at that, and

I was under the amount she told me to be. I guess I didn't realize

not getting my water in would wreck such havoc. Do you think that

could be all that it is?

Thanks! The common answer I keep getting is to increase my water.

I haven't even been drinking half of what I was supposed to. I just

don't like that full feeling. I teach school, and it's kind of hard

to keep stopping to drink!
