12 days post op and gaining?

The title says it all. At 9 days post op I was 293.6 and for the last 3 days a few quarter pounds have been sneaking on to where I'm 295.4 this morning 12 days post op. Someone please tell me what the hell is going on as I'm not even eating normally yet and only consuming around 600-800 calories a friggin day in protein shakes and farina.

Same issue here! I am 10 days out from my band to sleeve revision. I lost almost 18 lbs in the first week, but have gained 2-3 in the last 5 days! I have heard it is a stall. I'm trusting the process and the fact that I'm pretty active and only consuming 400-600 calls daily, so gain isn't actually possible. How have you been in the almost 2 weeks since this post?

My stall lasted 9 days but it's over now thank goodness. Down to 291 as of this morning :) I know it's frustrating but hang in there

We know it's not actually fat you're gaining, so no need to freak out.

After a few weeks we go into a stall that can also cause a little bit of gain. Keep doing what you're doing and try your stay off the scale. You'll be pleasantly surprised if you can stay off for a couple weeks by what you'll see.

The first month shouldn't really be weight loss time. It's more healing time. Try to remember that.
