EAT!!! Do not skip meals, follow your post-op plan. My surgery was the 30th, I too hit a stall. Just keep up your activity and eat like you're supposed to. You can up your activity, but everyone hits a stall, just follow the plan and it will round out and you will lose again.

Is it normal to gain weight this fast??

I can't work out only walking and that's so frustrating my doctor told me to only walk I'm crying in here I don't think the surgery worked fine 😭😭

I don't know if it's normal, and I don't necessarily subscribe to the "starvation mode" unless it's a large loss of calories, which we've under gone. So perhaps it is "starvation" related. I can tell you that you need to eat, not for weight loss reasons, but for overall health. You could be holding Water causing the 2lbs, and I would say that's likely it. How is your Fluid intake?

Did he restrict you to just walking, or just no weight lifting?

I'm still restricted to no weight, but I can swim, bike, and I've been given the go ahead to go back to my PoundFitness class. If you've not seen that, you should check it out! It's a lot of fun and is all cardio with some slightly weighted drum sticks(maybe a pound or 2 each).

I see, sounds like he has a good reason for the restrictions. Calling them in the morning and expressing your concerns sounds like a solid plan for now.

Understandable! I would follow the meal plan and the doctors orders, post back when you hear from them, I am interested in what they think the reason for the weight gain is.

Hopefully they will allow you to increase activity [emoji1]

Most folks hit a stall around the third week after surgery, so you're right on schedule. Also, us women can "gain" Water weight easily at certain times. Two pounds isn't a huge amount, and mine has fluctuated that much several times in the two months since surgery. Hang in there, keep drinking, walk walk walk and you'll do fine!

Dear, that happens a lot w me, one day I step on the scale and its up then couple days late went down 2,3 lbs. maybe pms or liquid retention, when the scale goes up I focus on my diet. Unfortunately I wrk 12h shifts and being wrking lots os days leaving no time for gym, anyway focus on your diet and pounds will shred down
