Does anyone experience the roller coaster with their gastric sleeve?:tongue_smilie:

I had surgery July 27th and then didn't lose anything for 2 weeks then gained 2 lbs now have lost 3 or 4 more. I think sometimes it can be fluid, or if your not eating enough your body kind of holding on to all you eat. Just watch what you take in and make sure your not taking in liquid calories that could be putting on the weight.

Hi i have noticed that sometimes the weight can go up a little, it happens when i am not being as good as i should be with eating carbs or making not so good food choices, but when i get back on track it goes away. Remember this is a work in progress, that's why some people say we shouldn't weigh ourselves so often. We can get discouraged, but i can't seem to help myself, i get on every morning right after i pee. Good luck i'm sure you'll do just fine, jeani

I was sleeved a week before you and I had a 3 lb weight gain at about 5 weeks post op.

At first I kind of freaked out but I relalized that I really hadn't done anything wrong and that my body is just going through major changes. I have kind of come to the conclusion that as long as I am eating right and getting excercise this body will loose how it wants too.

If you haven't started taking measurements I recommened doing so it is an easy way to see the physical changes that are taking place on your body even when the scale isn't moving.
