6 weeks post weight loss



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm 6 weeks post op. my pre surgery weight was 273lbs and today I am 251lbs. Until last week I was 247lbs. How the hell did I put on weight? I'm not doing anything different :(

Is it possible to put on weight so early on?

I'm so worried and discouraged

Any one gone through the same?

Its normal... Its not so much a gain but more so a fluctuation. I go up and down 3-4 pounds once I hit an all time low. A week or so goes by and I break the mini stall, hit an all time new low and fluctuate 3-4 pounds and do it all over again.

I am approaching my 8 weeks post op and have gone through this 4 times... didnt start this pattern until end of second week.

I am 6 weeks out, too. My surgery weight was 241 and today I am 217. I lost 18 pounds the first 15 days then gained back 2 then lost those 2 then stalled for two weeks. Since then, I have lost a pound, went several days not losing, gained a pound back, lost it.......best I can tell, I am now losing 3 to 4 pounds a week. I am not concerned, I think this is normal. I have lost 24 pounds in 45 days and a total of 40 pounds including my pre-op loss. I am thrilled.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
