Yes it can be but maybe the scales are off or it could be some Fluid. Ok

Yes it can be discouraging with the scales going up and down. In my case the drs office scales were off.

Sometimes people do retain Fluid. I thought maybe I should explain better.

Just take a deep breath and relax. You're only seven weeks out from surgery so you're still probably healing a bit and just getting started on your journey. Even at 247 you're down 15 pounds which is something you should CELEBRATE!! Everyone loses at a different rate and has a different journey. Do the things everyong says -- count calories, exercise, drink your Water. Your weight is going to vary from day to day, and even throughout the day. It'll all even out for you. Good luck!

I'm also 7 weeks post op today! And I am going through phases where I gained a pound...honestly the only weight I lost was from my pre op plan....don't get discouraged!! I have days too....try downloading my fitness pal! Helps track what you are eating! Be honest with what you eat! I have read that some people don't start seeing huge results until a few months after! Be proud of what you lost! It's hard work!!!

Put away the scale. The only time I step on a scale is when I go in for my monthly adjustment. I know everyone is excited about being banded and to some degree want to check to see if the band is "working" for them. If you follow you doctors post op diet and exercise plan the band will work for you. Be honest and patient with yourself.

I think you should try avoiding the scale for a while. I myself am batteling the scale temptation but i have noticed that when I weigh myself only once a week I see a drop in weight but when I weigh my self two or more times a week my weight fluctuates and that tends to discourage me! Good luck on your weight loss journey!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
