My advice is to not even step on the scale at least for a week or two. The same thing happened to me and I also hardly lost anything for the first 3 weeks so then I became really upset that the sleeve wasn't going to work on me. Then finally I started losing and I've lost 30 pounds and I'm 6 weeks out on Wednesday. Stay off the scale until you start noticing your clothes starting to get loose!

I had my sleeve done 4/22 and I to was surprised to have gained weight.I lost 11 pounds pre-op.Then after surgery gained 13 pounds. It's been a week and I lost 10 of it but, I thought losing before surgery I would be a head. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Yep, I gained a bunch from surgery. It's just the fluids your body is retaining to help heal itself. Don't worry about it! Step on again in a week and you'll be amazed!

Same thing here... I even took photos of my face I was so bloated. It is all just the fluids they pump you full of to ensure you don't get dehydrated. I was an out-patient for my surgery and the next day I went back in and they pumped me full of even more fluids. All in the name of ensuring you don't get dehydrated. All completely normal and will eventually get flushed out of your system.

Oh yeah, my stomach looked huge for like 2-3 weeks after. It was gross. I gained 10lbs the morning after surgery and was mildly horrified! It comes off tho, the more you heal.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
