What are you eating?

It could be Water retention, or if you're coming up on that time of the month, then that can cause a weight fluctuation for sure!

Yes, Water retention probably. Don't weigh yourself again until after it's over. Go from there.

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I am wondering if I will have the same problem. This is day 7 of preop liquid diet of shakes, Water , crystal lite type drinks ,broth and I have lost 3 lbs. I wonder if when I get some real food if I will start gaining. I have only been drinking 2-3 half strength shakes a day because they give me diarrhea. I hope you start losing soon, I know it is discouraging, but hang in there.

Do you track your food anywhere like myfitnesspal? That has really helped me see when there is no way a gain can be real - when you see the calories you are eating. There are lots of sleevers on there also - great support!

Protein Shakes, mushies, eggs, tuna, string cheese, yogurt, Jello basically it

Although I am only 5 days post op I was told by my doctor and dietician make sure you are not graving eating small amounts all day. Eat your 3 meals and 2 Snacks or Meal Replacements. I have not lost anything but the 17 lbs pre op in 2 weeks. I am looking forward to the continuous WL to kick in about 3 weeks. I want it to be steady not rushed. Goto your dietician. Good luck

I will agree...tracking everything you eat may be helpful. Its very easy to have calories sneak in, if you're not writing everything down. I'm just 2 weeks post-op, and am eating between 450 and 500 calories a day. I don't expect that to change much in the next few weeks. Another question that comes to mind....what are you doing for exercise? My surgeon is very strict about getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every single day, starting as soon as you get home from the hospital. I've worked back up to walking (on a treadmill) for an hour, at 2.7mph...I burn almost as many calories as I consume in a day (as crazy as that sounds!). Don't give up, whatever you do....keep trying different things, until you find the approach that works for you!!! Best of luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
