3 Lbs Down In One Day?!

So I am 6 days post-op and I decided to weigh myself yesterday. The scale said 259. Well this morning, I weighed 256! I know I just had sugery and all, but I am not even bloated nor do I have gas. Is this normal? I have not started back to the gym yet.

yes, I had some drops of about 3lbs overnight too! Also gained 1lb at 10days post op, so don't freak out if that happens either!

Whew!! Glad I am not the only one! I am preparing myself for some gains here and there along the way also!

its normal i lost about 2 pounds per day first week, then you'll hit a stall in two weeks, good luck.....dont forget to walk alot its good for you

Well according to both of my scales I dropped 10 pounds since yesterday...I am certain that new batteries are needed...cause that is a MAJOR drop...lol...is it wrong that I am praying that it is true and accurate though? lol

Its probably true. Your body decides to let go of water when it wants too and it decided to take a nose dive! Some weeks you will have big losses and some none at all. Its an average and you are coming off a gain from your TOM so its probably just adjusting for that. Dont worry, be Happy!

You will be AMAZED at what your body can and will do. You will also be frustrated by it at times, so be prepared, but you will, overall, be going down, down, down! If you weigh every day (like I do, and also tell everyone NOT to...) you will see little bounces up and big bounces down. It is all normal. Enjoy the ride! :)

I would LOVE for the 10.6 pound drop to actually be true! It puts me a mere 4 pounds away from my Memorial Day goal! I will TOTALLY take that!!!
