Hi guys! I was sleeved on 12/23. In the day of my surgery I was 419.6. A couple days ago I weighed in at 403.8-- an almost 16lb loss! But I weighed tonight and the scale said 407. For some reason, this is panicking me. I see my doctor tomorrow and I don't want to let him down. I keep thinking, "Did I already mess this up?" But I'm following his directions as best I can! Any advice?

(I did weigh in the evening instead of morning. And this was my first day back to work, which was very stressful, so maybe that affects weight? I dunno.)

Don't drive yourself crazy weighing too much. Have someone hide your scale if you have to!

I'm doing it once a week. I'm dying to know what I'm at but I won't step on that scale until Saturday.

Totally understand that rollercoaster of ups & downs and I refuse to ride it this time.

I thinking being less than two weeks post-op isn't going to give you any accuracy of how much you'll have dropped by the end of January and beyond. As long as you are following directions exactly, you're doing fine.

I am always 2-3 pounds heavier in the evening than I am in the morning.

Weight fluctuates for lots of reasons. You'll see it when you weigh daily and several times a day. The best way to avoid the anxiety it causes is to weight less, like maybe once a week or even once a month.

It's impossible to not lose weight the first six months or so. The sheer caloric deficit insures weight loss until your body 'adjusts'. Just follow your program and you'll be happy with your results. I promise.

Thank you! I know, I broke one of my own rules. I need to stick to my one day and time!

Thank you :) We're all so anxious to see our progress! LOL.

Definitely. I'm an anxious person, so I keep thinking, "Did I sip too much? Should I not have this? Blah blah blah."

Seeing my doc today, so I'll ask him about these worries.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
