Weigh in tomorrow.

So I have my weekly weigh in tomorrow. I am dreading it. My scale at home says I have gained so I am disgusted. This part of the journey sucks. The constant up and down. Anyone else feel this way?

Look at an average over a month... that might help! This last few years I have been a slower than slow loser regardless of how hard I tried... and am expecting to be after surgery! :) :)

i didn't have to do a pre-op weight loss (thankfully). But during the surgeon's required 5 week training program we were encouraged to try to lose.

I gained - every week. I was like "WTH! i'm having this surgery because i CAN'T lost weight!

But i remember the years of dieting before. lose 20 gain 40. Just remember, that is the whole reason we have the surgery. Because we are done with the up and down crap!

Good luck, and hang in there!

I am sorry your scale went the wrong way.. don't give up... Keep truckin my friend.... I know you are trying so hard... I wonder if all the exercise you are doing is building muscle and that is why the scale went up.... Or is it that time of the month, and you are carrying extra water.... There could be so many reasons...
I would be bumming honestly and hoping you all would remind me of these things... Because I am sure it happens to all of us....
