I had my surgery two weeks ago. On first day home from hospital I was up 12lbs. I knew this was from all the fluids given in hospital. That weight was gone in two days. Then I lost 2lbs a day for three days. Then I have not lost anything and yesterday actually showed a pound gained. This has been discouraging but I have my post op appt tomorrow and hoping to get some answers. I do think I was not getting in enough calories even though I was getting in 70 grams of Protein and 64 ounces of Water I was still at only 600 calories a day. Has anybody else had this experience?

My surgery was 3/15 also and I have lost 21 lbs. But haven't lost anything in the past few days. Gained a pound and was hoping it was due to my girlfriend being here (time of month) but not I'm not so sure. I have been eating by the book. I don't know what to do to get back in weight loss mode. It's too early for a stall. Right?

I did lose 10 pounds the week before too, so it makes me feel better saying I am down 33 pounds in 6 weeks

The absolute worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others. The second worst thing is to obsess over the numbers on the scale. If you follow the plan, you WILL lose. You don't need a scale to make that happen and the rate at which you lose has Nothing to do with your long term success. I lost over 100% of my excess weight and I don't even OWN a scale!

But since you asked....lost 22 pounds on my preop. Down 100 pounds at 9 - 10 months postop (not sure exactly when since I don't own a scale). Still down 100 pounds at 27 months out. That's what matters, not how much I lost the first few months. Think in terms of the rest of your life and it'll make all the short term stuff a lot easier.

I agree with @Kindle. How much we lose and how fast is such a relative number.

How well are you doing at reaching your Protein and Fluid goals?

That said, my one year Surgiversary is coming up in a couple of weeks and have lost over 200 pounds.

Thats great that you don't need a scale, but it's how I hold myself accountable. And I like those scale victories!!! Every 5 pounds down makes me so happy. But I don't compare myself to others...that just creates unwanted stress! As long as I am equal or less every week I have a huge smile on my face! And don't forget those NSV, fitting into a new size of pants makes me ecstatic too!!! Good luck and enjoy your weight loss!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
