I would not worry. That's about where I was at and it will start to come off. Give it a little more time. Hang in there.

It's normal what you should do IMOP is stay off of that scale! It will make you crazy, you should focus on healing right now. Good luck!

I agree with the others, you need more time. Please don't worry!

Don't weigh yourself all the time. Pick one day a week as soon as you wake up and weigh yourself.

There are too many daily fluctuations based on intake, and output. Your nutritionist or therapist should have advised you on this.

Weighing yourself every day is a fast track to a multitude of issues.

Don't worry it took me a good couple weeks to start noticing any difference after my surgery. I am just over a month out I was 261 going in on June 11th and am now 231. It really does take awhile for all the gas to leave the body and start showing weight loss. Expect their to be stalls as well I stopped losing for a week and got really depressed but it coming off again now. They say that it was because I wasn't getting enough Water intake so make sure you drink the required amount so you don't retain more then you need to. Hang in their it will come off. I have too try to remember that too :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
