Look at it this way, each pound of fat requries 3500 calories. If you log what you eat, did you eat 14,000 extra calories between the 7th and now? If not, it is Water weight. If so, you are insane ;)

I foolishly weighed myself the day after surgery. :blink: I think my weight was up by 8 lbs! Duh! Of course it was between all of the swelling, gas, Fluid pumped into me, etc. At first I was like WTF! Why did I just go and actual surgery to lose weight to only come home heavier? I hadn't eaten any food for over 24 hours! Sometimes your body is going to do what it wants. This has been a great lesson in patience and perseverance for me. It's a surprise each and every time I step on the scale. I never know if it's going to be a good one or not! LOL!

I had a total hysterectomy 1 1/2 weeks ago, and weighed myself the day after surgery and I was 6 pounds heavier. In about 4 or 5 days I was back to the weight I was before surgery! Don't worry about it right now, there is a lot going on in your body!

Same here, 2 1/2 weeks post-op, 20 lbs lost on liquid diet diet pre-op and nothing since. Very disheartening, almost makes me want to go liquid again :(!

Ladies as long as you are doing and eating right it will come. Let your body heal.

Also make sure you weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after using the bathroom. Make sure the scale is on a hard surface and you are wearing similar clothing each time you weigh yourself. It is amazing how your weight differs at different times of the day.

Thanks. I know this is a time for healing not losing.... but it doesn't change the feeling of failing. You start to see this lbs dropping and you just don't want it to stop... especially when your eating right.

At this point I am happy just to not be hurting any more and being able to sleep good at night! Yes I want to lose weight or I wouldn't have done this but everything I have read states it takes time! It took time to get where I am today its going to take time to get it off with hard work!

Dont worry about the weight loss right now it will come. Ive heard alot of ppl going through the same thing. I lost 10lbs on week 1 by wk 3 i gained 4lbs back. Focus on getting well & be honest w/ urself about where u need to improve. My dr said the 1st 3 mnth are the "tweaking phaze" fills are not 1 size fits all. If after u get ur 3rd fill ur still having issues then worry.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
