Up a pound what ? I know only a pound but discouraging, week and 3 days out and following what dr says, getting Fluid and most of Protein. Only getting 300-400 calories a day. How could I gain. I have been walking and active. So know burning, I could stand if had stayed same but gaining :(

I wouldn't be too worried. For the first two weeks my weight was everywhere too. One day I was up three pounds and the next down five. Just keep getting all your fluids in and following your doctors orders and the weight will come off! Promise :-)

And congrats on your new sleeve!

My weight still fluctuates upwards of 4-5lbs in a matter of a day or two. I actually hit an all time low of 260lbs early morning 3 days ago. Yesterday I was up to 264lbs in the evening. This morning I wake up and back down to 261lbs.

Get use to it because this is how my weight loss has been for the last 8 weeks post op.

This is a popular topic this morning. HERE is a post I recently made.

Please read the post PdxMan made and take it to heart. I am now 10 months post-op and my post-op weight-loss has been through multiple stalls, some increases (even in the last 2 weeks) and has been COMPLETELY non-linear.

You must "stay the course" and remember that your body needs to adapt to the multiple changes happening. Within the first few months post-op you are actively healing from a major surgery, so anything goes. After about 6 months you are adapting to major lifestyle modifications regarding your food intake type and of course quanitities (and probably have incorporated significant exercise into your lifestyle as well). Your physiology and metabolism needs time to adjust.

Your overall trend will be down and if you can find a way to measure body fat, it is a much more accurate picture of what is happening. I recently purchased a body fat analyzer which will help me know better what is going on with my weight loss (I want my muscle % to stay or increase!).

It's not a sprint..........though it's hard not to be excited for this major change and want it NOW! It's a marathon and we'll get there as long as we keep putting one foot in front of the other, stay informed and actively aware of what we're putting into our bodies, how we're burning off calories and what we need to do to achieve our weight loss and fitness goals.

You can do this! Take body measurements, and if you MUST weigh yourself daily (I get it....), then remember to take the ups and downs with grace and stay on your eating and exercise plan, regardless of what the stupid scale says (good or bad!).

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
