It sounds like everything is normal to me - you are still in the healing phase.

Please remember scales lie they fluctuate focus on following your doc instructions getting into the rhythm of your new life. Get a pair of pants that you grew out of and try them on, keep trying them on til they fit and you get to small for them etc. for enter to not scale watch and work on getting that protein in. Take it from me I let that go because I didn't like the taste of the drinks or the texture and got very weak and depressed. NOw that i found isopure I am feeling way better and five months postoperative I have lost over 100lbs.

You are doing well. I am almost 4 weeks out and o gained at 3 weeks. I found out that it was fluid and after a BM you may be surprised. I am down 25 lbs since DOS. Nut says that gaining weight is normal as your fluid, salt, BM's vary. Good luck and don't stress out.

I am almost four weeks out and my weight has been going up and down this whole week! I no I am having a terrible time getting my water/fluids in I wonder if this has anything to do it with hmmmm.....

At my nutrition class the dietician said if you don't get enough protein or enough water it can stall your weight loss, she also said everyone is different... Some loose more in the beginning and slow down later and some people loose weight slow in the beginning and have rapid weight loss later. Everyone looses weight at different speeds and not to get too concerned as long as you are doing everything right. Good luck and I'm sure you will be fine!!!

I'm three weeks and few days out and obsessed with the scale. I'm still on puree food, but I weigh myself more than once a day sometimes. Scales can grab be you weigh more or less at diff times of the day. I gained 8oz and the next day lost 2lbs. Don't trust your scale or let it upset you. Do what you're supposed to.
