I was sleeved on October 30. I started at 262 lbs. Was down to 253 pre surgery and dropped to 242 the first week. I’m not meeting my liquid and protein goals but am trying. I have since gained 5 lbs. on the clear liquid diet. I’m puzzled and concerned. Did anyone else experience this? I’ve heard of stalls but not gains so close to the surgery. @Berry78 do you have any advice for me?

Im also concern with this as well ...Are you or were you Hypothyroid!! I still have to take my thyroid medicine if I dont I will pick up weight. I picked up five pounds two weeks after my sleeve and visited the endocrinologists who told me to continue to take my thyroid medicine or i can gain weight WHAT???????

@Yolanda Smith Yes im hypothyroid. But I haven’t missed taking my medication. Guess I just have to be patient. Thank you for pointing out the importance of taking those meds.

It's water weight. Either you were dehydrated, so reached an artificial low, or you are now retaining fluid as part of the healing process.

No worries, it's not fat weight You're doing great!

@Berry78 that’s a relief. Yes I’m dehydrated. I’ll start taking in fluids more diligently. Thank you.

Excellent! Gotto keep those fluids up. Also make sure you're having BMs every few days at least.
