Confused... what did I do wrong?

Hey all!

I'm finally off purees. I went to see my surgeon today for my 2 week check up and everything was fine! I lost 33 pounds since surgery on June 15th and I'm feeling good. I had bacon and eggs for Breakfast earlier today.... and had a chance to recheck my scale just now and I am 257! Just this morning and yesterday I was 255.

Did I do something wrong? This is making me nervous and I feel I should just go back to purees. What am I doing wrong?? He didn't say I couldn't have bacon and eggs, and I didn't even finish my whole plate. There's enough left over for tomorrow's breakfast. I'm feeling genuinely sad and confused :(

    You can have fluctuations like that from day to day. It is the overall trend you should track. Hang in there!

  • This is the reason I force myself to weigh only once per week. Your weight will fluctuate up and down daily, just as it did before surgery. Don't be alarmed by this, it's normal.

Totally normal. Especially if you're weighing several times a day. I'm 2-5 pounds higher sometimes between morning and evening.

That being said, with your amazing weight loss of 33 pound in 2 weeks, your body is going to try to adjust. You are going to fluctuate and even stall here soon. Happens to everyone. Just keep doing what you need to do and it will pass.

Great job and keep it up!

I wouldn't fret! I weight constantly (I know, it's bad) and I always fluctuate a couple lbs! You might get a little more consistency if you weight the same time every day, like morning. If you weigh in the morning and then at night... you will almost always weight more at night.

Sorry if I sound completely psycho worrying about something like this :lol:

But thank you all for the reassurance! I do check my scale everyday which needs to stop! At least now I know fluctuating is normal. It was just a bit scary to see those numbers go up again.

Here's to all of us choosing the sleeve and continuing to see good progress :)
