Confused... what did I do wrong?



Recommended Posts

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 :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
