Weight gain at 4 weeks?

[chelD 10]

Hey sleevers! I was sleeved on June 11 so I'm one month out. Yay! In my first 2 weeks I lost really well, then it slowed and then I gained? What?!?!?!? I know stalls are normal and expected but wanted to see if anyone else out there had any issues with gaining?? I am now getting 65-80 oz of Water and 65-80 gr Protein. Here are my stats:

SW: 320

Wk 1: 307 (loss of 13 lbs)

WK 2: 301 (loss of 6 lbs)

WK 3: 299 (loss of 2 lbs)

WK 4: 301.5 (gain of 1.5 lbs)

I know stalls are pretty normal at this time but this gain has stuck for 5 days. I do need to start exercising. Anyone else seeing gains? Or sleevers who are farther along, any insight or encouragement?

Thanks and be blessed!!

I am going with liquid weight (water weight) I gained 4lbs week 3 after surgery then it started coming off again. Dont read to much into things in the early weeks after surgery. Your body is adjusting and healing. Give it time.

I'm 4 weeks out now and have noticed that I'm slowing down in weight loss a bit. I have dropped 42 in a month but I think for both of us excel use will jump start the process again... Good luck

During my month long stall which started at 3 weeks I gained a couple pounds.. It's physically impossible to gain five pounds of FAT on 600 calories a day.. it was strictly Water weight but still frustrating!

I saw the team today that look after me and now at nine months out I only lost 15 lbs. in 6 weeks......I guess this is very normal to have them..The thing is if you weigh yourself a lot then you will get upset over the stalls..I only weigh myself at the Surgeons office and about every 8 weeks....So the stalls are gone and I at least lose something.....

It just feels better not knowing when I have a stall.....You know!!!!

Add me to the temporary weight gain club. Almost monthly, I'll pick up a few lbs for a week or so, then I'll lose it and a lb or two more.

I don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but the weight gain is greater after I've eaten fruit - like strawberries, grapes, or watermelon.

Lol. "Almost monthly" "for a week". Are you tracking when? Is it hormonal and related to your cycle?

[saccarmen 2]

Maybe it's hormonal? One a month, for a week? sounds like it to me. Keep track for a month or two. And who cares if its coming right back off. Take it easy on yourself. ????

Thanks everyone! Even though we know stalls are normal and expected, when you are so new at this, it sure helps to share and get feedback from others. I do think it was Water weight as I was feeling a bit a bit swollen. But thank God, I think I'm moving in the right direction again. Slowly but SURELY!! Keep up the great work guys!
