So I am 12 days post op and feeling great! I hit the 30 pound loss mark then 31 but since yesterday morning and this afternoon I've gone up 4 pounds. I haven't changed anything and I'm still on a liquid diet. I shouldn't be freaking out right? I just need some encouraging words!

No don't freak out. Your body is adjusting. Your not going to get fat on liquids. Stay off the scale for awhile or you'll drive yourself nuts, it's not necessary. focus on staying hydrated. Good luck!

Before the surgery I would never go near a scale, now I'm scale crazy! But I'll stay off until my post op visit. Thank you

Had one of those WTF moments about the same point, woke up the next morning and pee'd for 20 minutes, (two flusher - http://www.hulu.com/watch/4850) and all was well. No worries.

All normal - and yes, happened to me too. Here is what I recommend - do not weigh every day (it will make you crazy). I weigh myself Tuesdays and Friday.

Someone explained to me like this... each weight is an adjustment to our bodies. Our bodies wants to stay at the same weight. They think of it as normal. So when we lose weight, our body needs to do an internal reset on what is a normal weight. So think of this as your internal weight begin reset. Give it time and it will drop again.

My longest stall so far (surgery was Mar 30) was 18 days. After my 18 days stall, I lost 6 pounds in 3 days. Go figure.....
