11 days post op VSG

HEY EVERYONE! I started my journey June 1 and was on liquid diet until day of surgery which was June 24. I lost 28 pounds during that time and since surgery I have lost 13 pounds (I'm 11 days post op). The first couple of days the water I retained from IV fluids flew off and I lost about 6 additional pounds in 2 days. After that I had a 3 pound loss then a 2 pound loss and continued until I was losing about a pound. Yesterday I was switched to mushy food and I had my regular protein shake, water, a bite or two of plain avocado. A tiny piece of mozzarella cheese, water, Gatorade, water an oz of yogurt, water, and another piece of cheese. And then water and my vitamins in the evening. I weighed myself this morning and I didn't lose anything, I actually gained 3 oz. Did I eat too much yesterday? What is going on?!?

    It sounds like you're doing great - congrats! My recommendation is to stop weighing daily, lest you become obsessed with minor fluctuations. For all anyone knows you peed less or something. :-)

I agree with No Onions, that small of a gain is almost always due to normal physiological changes. However, I do weigh everyday. I know many people frown on this practice, but it helps prevent any surprises!

Sounds like you are doing great, probably water gain.
