2 week post op- gained weight

Want some advice asap please

I'm 2 weeks post op had sleeve- iv been doing well the first week if lost a lot of inches I'm not wrong myself but measuring my body so this Sunday I measured myself again and iv gained most places about 4 cm -- I know it's normal to have stalls but worried iv had it so early on.. I'm eating 400-500 cal drinking enough water n getting 50-60g of protein. I feel uncomfortable to eat anything cos I'm thinking I'm eating too much- is it normal- has anyone been through it.

You are still so early post-op. Your body is still healing, retaining fluids and releasing them. The question you have to ask yourself is what am I wanting to lose? Weight or fat?

What you must keep in mind is that 1 pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories. Eat 3,500 calories more than you burn, you gain one pound, burn 3,500 calories more than you eat, you lose a pound. So, with your measurements, do you think you ate so many more calories than you burned that you added fat? I'm guessing your resting metabolic rate is in excess of 3 to 5 times of what your current caloric intake is, so, there is no way you are putting on fat.

Right?

Everybody is going to experience weight fluctuations early out. Just give yourself some time to heal and know this is a long process. Manage your expectations as well. Now is not the time to be restricting what you are eating. It can only hamper the healing process.

I agree with PDX...Im still pre op but with all the things I have read on here, I don't plan on weighing myself for at least two weeks to a month after surgery. I know I will get discouraged by stalls and there are always going to be natural fluctuations while your body is healing!!

Yeh I agree too I haven't weighed myself at all am waiting for the hospital appointment I have in 3 weeks to know how much I have lost. I wanted to keep a measure of changes in my body every week but I think I will now measure every 2 weeks instead of weekly
