New to this app. Don't really have a support group to ask. Is it normal to gain 3 lbs in a week this soon? I had RNY bypass April 20th and this just really got me down today.

It's most likely water weight. Are you getting all your protein and water? How many calories?

I have done better yesterday and today. Before that I was nauseated all the time and I know I was way low on protein and Fluid because I didn't feel like eating or drinking. I'm still trying to figure out my protein measurements. A little tuna, refried Beans, lunch meat, cottage cheese, yogurt. Trying to figure out how much protein in each little serving is difficult.

Forget what the scale says - keep sticking to your plan and the weight will come off. Make sure to increase fluids too.

Increase protein. I can't do lactose or sugar post op they both cause stomach pains and dumping. So I did no whey protein 60 per day and I started loosing weight. After 5 years I still have to remind myself to make sure I get protein. I don't eat meat because it sticks or causes obstructions so I do fish and shakes and veggies

It is very common to hit plateaus during the weight loss process. Just make sure you are meeting your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. And walk about 30 minutes each day (or equivalent exercise).

Week 4 was a no loss week for me. It's frustrating but we have to concentrate on the big picture. The next week I lost 4. Keep up the Protein and fluids.

I had a stall for about a week. I got out of it and have been back to losing daily. I realized that last week i was drinking the low cal gatorades all week. I never logged them as i didnt really think of em as anything.. 17gs of sugar and 17 carbs!!! So yeah, no more of those for me and ive been great.

Buy some isolate Protein powder to get your protein in. Did they not tell you this prior to surgery or after?
