I started soft foods this weekend, and have stuck to foods on my plan. The most I have eaten is a 5 oz yogurt, but if I eat something like tuna, I can barely eat 2 ozs. I am sipping on calorie free drinks all day long. When I got on the scale this morning, I had GAINED 2 pounds. Did anyone else experience this when starting soft foods? Do you think I am doing something wrong? I was sleeved 6/7/16, and between the preop doet and the sleeve I have dropped 35 pounds so far.

It is impossible to gain 2 lbs of fat in that amount of time. The calorie excess you would need to actually gain weight, you are not capable at this point.

You are probably heading into a 3 week stall. Google it.

Follow your plan you will keep losing.

2 lbs is just normal fluctuation. Water weight, you need to poop, your hormones are being weird, you weighed at a different time of day, your scale is just being mean as scales sometimes do . . . it isn't anything to worry about.

And yes, you should be stalling right about this time. Pretty much everyone does. Stay off the scale for a while and keep following your program, you will be fine.

I was like this from the beginning of my 3rd week until a couple days when I got into my 6th week! It's super frustrating but it's just a dreaded stall I realized everyone hits. But I can assure you it's Water weight, you have to eat ALOT more than you're able to right now to gain 2 lbs of fat. So no worries, just stick to your plan, get in your Protein and liquids and eventually it will fall off. Trust me, I know how frustrating it can be to see you're doing nothing wrong! But it's just your body adjusting to the major weightloss. Good luck!!

Thanks guys. I'm just worried this will be like every other weight loss plan I have done, even though I know it is way different.

sometimes your scale is just sitting on uneven flooring, which will change the number that shows up

you're probably retaining Water weight, maybe your period is about to start

drink tons of water and follow your plan to a T

you're not going to gain wait if that is what you do
