I have read about all the tremendous losses in the first week...I got on the scale and i am actually 8 pounds heavier!! did anyone else have this experiance? So depressing!!!

NOT a problem... just stick with the program. Everyone is different!

They pumped you full of a lot of fluids. I gained 9 lbs the day after surgery. Please don't be so hard on yourself!!!

Next week you'll be down it happens, this was a big ordeal for body to go through!

My Dr's office actually said not to get on the scale until the post op visit because my body will be filled with excess has and liquids, so don't freak out. Apparently it's completely normal.

I went into surgery 294 and came out 306. But I began losing soon enough. Fret not!

I was up the first week also. All of a sudden the 2nd week, I'm down, Follow your NUT instructions, it'll happen!

What they said ^ ! Don't worry about it. Your body will adjust and you will lose. Just do what you are supposed to do.

Sailing in same boat!

I am in week 3.

Post opp week 1 and 2 I lost about 10kgs. Beginning of week 3 I put on 3kg. When I spoke to my surgeon, he said may be it is because of the Water retention (due to menstruation which was due for week 3).

After that my weight is stalled.

You are not eating so you are not really gaining fat probably just water!

I agree with several posters. Don't worry about it and keep doing what you are supposed to. It is probably all liquid weight. I bet there is a major weight drop in your near future.
