When was the last time you weighed prior to this time? Was it the day before?

Water weight. Your period, maybe. A natural body fluctuation because of the hot summer days. I was in your shoes at three weeks, too. Now I am five weeks out (6 on Friday) and down 10 pounds from where I was at three weeks. It's scary as hell, but it's normal. Promise.

Did you gain any weight??? I knew that eventually I was going to hit a stall because I read about it. But the gain weight??? This is emotionally draining :(

I've been through this same thing several times in the past 6 months. Last week, I hit my lowest of 272 after a 2 week plateau.

This week, I'm 8 lbs heavier. The only thing I can attribute it to is eating fruit. I had some strawberries and some grapes during the week and suddenly my weight was going back up.

It's just a temporary fluctuation. Your weight will start dropping again.

I am at 4 weeks and my weight went up 3 pounds too, then another week and I was wn the 3 plus 2 more. I fluctuate a lot. I went 196 to 198.5, then to 193.5 but today I was at 195. I am close to my menstral cycle so Im sure it's Water weight but it sucks. I want to see big numbers and I am not. Considering how good I am eating, this shoud be a nobrainer but yet my body isn't moving as fast. We just need to keep doing the right thing and making good choices!

During your stalls is when you might start to see the inches drop. I haven't measured or weighed for a couple days. I want to get my period started and almost over before I start weighing myself again.

I didn't get the week 3 stall....I got the week 2 stall. I was at 206 for 7 days...gained a couple of pounds back...and then dropped to 204 and two days later to 202. I can still tell that inches are coming off though. Been at 202 for 3 days now, but not freaking out about it. I've found if I don't drink enough Water, the scales will stay the same.

You said your two week check up, are you 100% sure your home scale and the Dr scale are the same? My scale weighs nearly 4# heavy.

You are ok. Don't panic. You will go up and down a few pounds until your body readjusts and then it will start dropping off. It could be anything from Water retention to heat. It will come back off though. It's hard to trust our bodies but we must try!

      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?

      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
