I had surgery the 17th and lost 32 pounds so far went on the scale up says went up 4 and I just started soft foods I am stressing the numbers all the time I guess I want fast results ughhhh I need to stop I went down and I see it on my clothes but I am more worried about that damn scale!!!!

Scales can make us crazy... you got this

Yesss I need to STOP!!????

When you look at it logically, there is not way you could have gained 4 pounds - you aren't eating enough food.

You're still recovering from major surgery - your body is just trying to figure out what you're doing. You have severely limited your calorie intake, removed the better part of a major organ, you went under anesthesia, etc. You've thrown a lot at it.

My husband went so far as to hide the scale from me and he brought it out once a week. That saved my sanity. I also started taking pictures and my measurements - it was nice to see a difference in my body and my measurement numbers when the scale didn't give me the result I wanted.

This early out - the scale is not necessarily your friend. Do not give the scale power over you or your progress. Our bodies don't always react the way our brains want them too.

You're doing great - keep up the good work!

Thank you soo much for the support I will hide it and just wait until my Doctor visit ????

i feel the same way... Was sleeved on August 5 and down 32 pounds but for the last week and a half the scale has not moved from 217... And I am worried... I drink only water and eat two teaspoons of food... That's all I can hold... So why is the numbers not going down... Hate the number...217.2

ylluz I agree with the other posters there is no way you could've gained 4lbs. I didn't weigh at all until my first post-op and now I'm only going to weigh 1x a week or else I WILL DRIVE MYSELF CRAZY! It's just not worth the aggravation to me. I wish you well on your journey fellow 8/17 sleever ????
