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.

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
