Is this normal? I lose 3 pounds but the next day I gain 2 of the pounds back? So really I've only lost one. This keeps happening. I know I am not on a stall because I lose that one pound. I am 8 weeks today out of surgery. Isn't too soon to start slowing down on the loosing? On May 31 day of surgery I weight 267 and today I weigh 234 that 33 pounds, I feel like I should of lost more by now. Uuuggghhh so frustrating. Thanks for hearing my rant.

8 weeks - 33 pounds,

your weight loss is right on target

sorry i can't respond to your problem of losing 3 lbs - gaining 2 back???

but you still lost 1 lb..... and thats what counts

some/many peoples expect, hope that will lose their 75, 100, etc lbs over night

not gonna happen

but thats ok

your weight goes DOWN while your spirits go UP

take care

continued good luck

This why it is not recommended to weigh every day because the fluctuations will drive you crazy. Good luck.

This is why lots of places say you shouldn't weigh everyday. Water weight fluctuations, menstrual blood getting ready for your next period, and time of day can make your weight fluctuate +/- 5 pounds.

On another note, you are losing 30 pounds in less than 2 months...which is 15 pounds per month. This is the norm, especially without exercise added in.

I do exercise, that's the sad part lol

I'm May 16 and down 40 pounds post op so pretty close. I have a 2 pound bounce EVERY SINGLE TIME I LOSE! SO FRUSTRATING! And, I only lose weight every other week. One week I lose sometimes up to five pounds then the next week the bounce ending in 0-1 pounds that week. My body just seems to need to do this to rebalance. I'm not changing anything from week to week. I do enter my weight on fatsecret everyday almost and that little chart lets me know 1)my weight is trending down despite the little bumps so it is okay and 2)I am in a week when I am likely to bounce or not lose. Being able to see those two things helps keep me from going crazy.
