Hey -

Today I had dental surgery and I had a few teeth removed, all in the back. Before I went for my appointment I was 166, took a nap and after I woke up, I weighed myself (in the evening mind you) and it was 164.6. I'm not complaning - this is great! However, is this normal? Also, I haven't any food yet.. I'm on a liquid diet for a few days and my husband is currently making me a milkshake. First thing I will have eaten.

Thanks!

    Yes this has happened to me it's normal. Weight can fluctuate like that daily.

    probably just fluctuation. also, when your body is under stress (physical/emotional/mental) it often does funny things. it might just be that you had surgery and your body is reacting.

    i wouldn't sweat it too much. just rest and feel well soon!

    THanks.. that would make sense. For 2 weeks my body was at a plateau and I was weight 168. Now, in just a couple days I am at 164.2. Which of course is amazing. All the weight that needed to come, maybe the stress helped it!

    So, maybe I can contribute those to my weight gain then. :)

    It's a psychological boost to see the scale go down, but unfortunately, you are likely just dehydrated from not eating/drinking. Hope you recover quickly and all goes well for you!

    Your weight can fluctuate up to 5 lbs in a day which is why you should pick a day, time, place and clothing option to do your weigh ins.
