My doc was able to reason with me. First he said my appointment times are terrible for weigh-ins as I've already had liquids, a meal and am almost at mid-day, a time when our weight starts to hit its highest point. Did you know our weight can fluctuate up to 6 pounds or so in a day?! (Um, ok, maybe, go on, I'm listening). Plus I'm PMS'ing, am likely bloated, retaining water AND I hadn't had a BM yet that day. So, all of those factors *could* actually be messing around with what I actually did lose for the week (ok yes, I see your point Doc). However, even if that is the case, I'd still be at 225 pounds as I doubt I could be down 10 or 11 pounds - can we bloat up that much when we're PMS'ing? 10 pounds, really? That much? Is this even possible? Could I actually be down to 220 pounds and bloated up like a beached whale to 231 pounds?! I must have lost weight as the Doc said just by looking at me he could tell from my previous visit that I had lost weight. Also, that same friday and the past two days at work, a few people have commeneted that they noticed I had lost " a lot" of weight. I know they aren't BS'ing me as they are people that I did not tell I had the surgery. Also, I've noticed that clothes I wore last week, specifically pants, are starting to float on me, to the point where I'm going to have to wear a belt to hold 'em up.....or just go and buy some pants that do fit. This is why I hate scales....they LIE!!!!!!! Riddle me this, riddle me that........is it possible that I'm just a bloated, beached, PMS'ing whale or have I hit a plateau at 7 weeks post-op?
