I am 6 days out from surgery, and have been loosing about a pound a day. Until this morning, I weighed myself this morning and was +1.3 pounds. Is this normal? I know your body can fluctuate weight daily, but still a pound and a half gained??

Don't worry about that at all Killian. I weighed myself everyday since surgery as well and I was down every day, then the other day it said I went up 2lbs, today when I went on the scale I was down 3. Weight fluctuation happens to everyone which is why they suggest we only weight ourselves once a week (although that is tough to do). You will see it come off.

Totally fine - this might be a water and some bowel mass piling up. You will dump that in a couple of days for sure

Don't check your scale on daily basis - do that once per week, on the same day, same time - just as jcb123 suggested.

No worries, you're just full of poop, dude!

Thanks everyone!!

Gonna weigh myself weekly instead of daily. Starting tomorrow lol.

Hahahaha. Even knowing I'm full o' the poo I still weigh myself daily.

Just pretend this is not your poo, but your "inner spirit"!

Update 1/14/18: I am down to 216, just 6 pounds away from being out of the "Obese" category! I find that the sleeve prevents me from over eating, which is exactly why I chose this surgery. It is performing as advertised. I just have to control what it is that I eat. I can easily get down a slice of pizza, but two? Won't even attempt it. And the beauty part is, I don't want that second piece. One slice, and I am done, satisfied. But that does not happen often, as I tend to eat right and make healthy choices because I feel a whole hell of a lot better.
