I was sleeved July 12, and in the first week I lost 9 lbs but have only lost 1.2 lbs in the past several days. Is it normal for weight loss to fluctuate so much? I'm following my post op plan to a tee. It looks like my two week weight loss will be about 12 pounds but with 9 lbs one week and only 3 the next.

It's the liquids from the IV and the gas. You will pick up steam just keep going.

Yes, it is normal.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs in weight loss. Just about everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery.

Your primary focus right now is healing: that means getting in all of your fluids and Protein. Stay off the scale!

Two weeks out, you shouldn't even be on the scale right now. It will drive you nuts. Your body is in recovery mode and will do weird things. Seriously, stay off the scale for at least a couple more weeks and just focus on following your program and recovering from surgery.

I was sleeved on 6-30, lost 17 pounds in the first week, then gained 1.5 lbs, thought I was going crazy! Weighed myself at 3 weeks and lost 2.5 lbs. Listen to the sleeve vets, stay off the scale. I figure my body is revolting from what I've done and am doing to it and it's putting on the brakes to figure things out.

I've lost 12 lbs in 4 weeks. I was hoping to be a fast loser but I'm not going to balk at an average of 3 lbs a week.
