Two pounds up!?

I gave up the scale because I was stuck on a number and not a feeling.

If you hadn't seen the 2 pounds, how would you be feeling???

This is gonna get a lil too much in the TMI region, but are you digestively backed up? I heard the intestines can house up to 8 lbs of waste. Are you getting enough fiber?

My TMI for the day. I weighed this morning. 124.8. After my BM: 124.4 (which is where I have been at for the last 10 days).

And I don't know if this is why but I haven't had bread this week except for half a whole grain roll - only whole grain as oatmeal and brown rice. I feel like I have been emptying myself out this week. But was my TOM and that could've played a role. I'm going to keep at it and see.

I've had IBS for most of my adult life and being backed up was always the norm. Amazing what eating healthy can do!

...also, remember to try to weigh yourself at the same time every day, prefferably in the morning before any food or beverage has touched your lips, and you should be in your scivies (spelling?) or your birthday suit! I also wait a whole week before checking my weight- also weigh myself every Wednesday like you!

Don't worry too much...our weight fluctuates from day to day and throughout the day. This is why it is good to only weigh once a week, around the same time and on the same day. Just keep eating right and exercising. Don't let this deter you.

lol....but 4 ounces won't take away my 2 pounds! I know I don't have 2 pounds of crap inside of me. Do I? :laugh:

maybe not but it's a start? LOL. I wouldn't worry too much about 2 pounds. Could be a lot of things and we women have tons of factors that mess with that scale number. And you are post surgery. Could be part of the healing process?

I'm a mom...there's no such thing as TMI. LOL :laugh:

I do go over on my fiber everyday...but...LOL...I haven't used the bathroom for that in 2 days. Maybe you're right.

I've had a problem with this for a while (post surgery)...it sucks. I go maybe 2 times a week!

Should i just get more fiber?

Thank God (for me) there is a pilates exercise to promote regularity called Stomach Massage tee hee. Weighing in without having gone to the bathroom everyday would also make me very frustrated!

Honestly I wouldnt worry about it too much... I did the SAME thing this week, took a sneak peak at the scale (which I am usually good about NOT doing) and I knew I shouldnt have because I can always feel when I have lost weight, I gained almost 2 pounds!!! No idea why other then I just got done with a cleanse and havent gone as frequent as I did while on it, but today (a day later) I am already back down to where I was before... So I am not concearned...

Our bodies fluxuate all the time due to water or waste... I started a probiotic after my cleanse, but I think I may try and add a fiber supplement... I dont like feeling bloated/fat because of excess waste, TMI I know...
