I keep going up or down 2 pounds.. maybe this is not going to work for me! or maybe I'm just tripping?

That happens to us all. Don't get discouraged. I'm sure the weight will start melting off soon.

Thanks I need the encouragement..

When were you sleeved?

I've been doing the same ever since my surgery. Maybe try not weighing yourself as much? I get on the scale everyday which I probably shouldn't but can't help. Not sure how often you weigh yourself but maybe once a week would be great so you can eliminate feeling discouraged. Good luck, keep up the incredible work!!!

Water retention or waste making its way through your intestines...is very common, and, as others have said, is one of the reasons they encourage us only to weigh weekly

I get on the scales every morning. After I reach my goal I will get on the scales every single day! In the past I could gain weight so stinking fast so I feel I need to weigh every day so if I'm up a pound I can deal with it. I feel it's easier to be up a pound or two and get that back off then weight a week and be up 5 pounds. I've had that happen before I had surgery. One week it might be 5 extra pound then the next week a couple more. So yeah I'm gonna weigh every day so maybe I can keep on top of it.

I am dealing with the same thing right now. 2 weeks post op. I am trying not to get frustrated, I mean I am following all the rules it is impossible to not lose weight right! I feel thinner and eventually my crapo scale will agree with me and until then I will keep on keeping on!

It WILL come off promise! It's impossible for it not to just takes a while for your body to figure out what the heck is going on. I posted and responded to so many posts about the same thing in the beginning and now at 7 weeks I'm consistently losing. Not every day but every week. It will happen!

Thanks everyone for this post! I just got on the scale & for the second morning in a row I was up a little bit & I was starting to freak out. I'm 3 weeks out and I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm so glad to hear that it is normal.

Thanks for everyone in put, I'm 3weeks and 2 day out.. I just had to vent a little.. thanks for listening and responding! you guys are the best!
