My scales go up and down all the time. I stall, I gain, I lose etc. Day 10 is super early, so don't even bother with weighing. You will be fine!

The best gauge for losing is the fit of your clothes. It they feel and look looser.....you're losing.

I can tell immediately if I have gained or lost by how my clothes fit. They are also my motivation. And when they fit correctly or become loose....my biggest satisfaction. ;)

Plus the added bonus......when they get loose....you get to go buy new clothes. :D

Pay no attention to the scale.

I had my surgery on 8/24/16. It was a very easy process for me. No pain, no issues and do glad I did it. I was a one half self pay (Had hernia thank goodness haha). My doctor, Brad Marker Dothan AL is the best. He told me not to weigh for the first 2 to 3 weeks and I haven't. He said my body was still get adjusted and it might disappoint me. Don't get my wrong I have had the urge to weigh but decided to listen to him. I think I will weigh at the end of the week. I know I have lost cause my clothes are baggy. I have worn things I have not worn in 2 years (pants) so that's exciting. I did weigh at his office a week out from surgery and had lost 5 pounds.

I have not really wanted much to eat. Only been hungry one time. Yay!!

Protein shakes are my go to.

Do not get discouraged. Just do what the doctor says. They know.

I don't even own a scale because I would be too obsessed with it. I know I am loosing because I went from 2xl tops to large and 2xl pants to xl pants. My over the shoulder boulder holders don't fit either.

I gained 5 lbs the week before my period. Then I took some Constipation relief pills two days before my period was due and I spent the entire afternoon running for the washroom and urinating. Next day, I was 5 pounds less.

4 days after the period, three pounds more came off.

Sorry if it's too much information..

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
