2 weeks post op and FREAKING OUT!

I lost 3 kilos the week before surgery and 4 kilos the week following surgery. I am now 2 weeks post op and have lost nothing at all this week. In fact, it looks like I have gained a pound!!! Is this normal? A stall? Am I failing at this????

Somebody out there who has experienced the same? How long must I wait before I get a fill?

    Thank you! This not only cost me a lot financially, it is costing emotionally. I really don't want to screw this up. Today, for ex I had a Protein shake for Breakfast, 2 small pieces of salmon bake

  • I always go up and down. I just keep following the program...if I stay away from the scale when this is happening, I get less emotional. Weight loss is not always constant. If you gain 15lbs, then

    Hurrah! The scale finally moved after nearly 2 weeks of NOT MOVING AN INCH! Down 3 lbs, BAM! in 2 days. Thanks for the encouragement guys. Go in for my first fill in 1 week. Had my surgery Oct 10

Thank you! This not only cost me a lot financially, it is costing emotionally. I really don't want to screw this up. Today, for ex I had a Protein shake for Breakfast, 2 small pieces of salmon baked for lunch, veggie/red lentil Soup, no fat and a tiny bit of greek yogurt 0% fat with frozen berries and I am up a lb maybe 2. I'm super nervous!

You're not up fat lbs - just water. It's very nerve wracking but try and relax - stress won't help and may actually cause more water retention. It could be a stall (very common) or you may be getting your period, constipated, had too much sodium, not getting az much fluids as usual!

I did the same thing sw 251 week one 244. Then down to 242 by the end of week 2 back up to 245. End of week there as of today down again 239. I swelled the second week. My ring wouldn't even fit I got at the start of week 2

OMG...I'm freaking out as well. I'm a little over 2 weeks out and haven't lost an ounce in the last 6 days. I'm still on liquids, getting all my Protein and fluids. It's SOOO frustrating!

I always go up and down. I just keep following the program...if I stay away from the scale when this is happening, I get less emotional. Weight loss is not always constant. If you gain 15lbs, then I might worry...but up and down a couple lbs doesn't mean anything is wrong.

Had my surgery Oct 10th, so counting the week before surgery I am down18lbs. I shouldn't complain I guess. I'm 5'10, starting weight 243 now 225. I would love to get down to 155lbs. We'll see...
