[A Monarch's Journey 3]

I had VSG 7/8/13 my pre 2 week was

348 I got down to 311 by 3 weeks post op then blam 4th week and I gain 4 lbs to 315. Has anyone had this happen? What should I do to get the weight loss going again?

Nothing. You do nothing.

Hormones cause a spike in weight for me. I gain about four pounds each month around my cycle. I can even jump up as many as EIGHT pounds overnight if I exercise strenuously the night before.

You've dropped a large amount of weight in a very short time and your body is in shock. It'll take a while for the bouncing on the scale to stop, and you might even see a stall for a while.

Just relax and let it happen at your body's pace. No need to fiddle with your diet or your routine.

Thanks I will try not to sress out too much then. I know I did not gain over night, but its amazing how you want it to fall off overnight.:-) I will be more patient and stick to my Protein.< /p>

Its normal. U just wait it out. Keep looking forward. It will all come off just the same way. I gained like 12 lbs. Yup it hit me hard. But just like that I lost it. So don't worry so much about it.

I am so glad to hear that! I felt like a failure and now I know its just my stubborn body not wanting to give up the "fat". So I will look at this like I am a hostage negotiator and it is just a matter of time before my body relinquishes and gives up to a slimmer ME!:-)

I'm in the same boat I'm 16 days post op and got down to 280 at around 11 days and as of today I'm up too 282.4. Depressing but at least I know it's not fat....it's either Water or poo. Just have to wait it out.

It is nice to know that I am not in the boat alone, I was getting worried. We will all just ride this out and together; fat will not take our ship down. :-):-)
