Hi all -
I’ve lost 10 pounds on my pre-op diet & gained 14 in the hospital with all of the IV fluids. it took me a few days, but I lost the fluid weight plus an additional 5 pounds. I am only on protein shakes and water and I’m not even having that required 3/4 protein shakes a day (averaging 2.5/3). I will be 3 weeks out on Wednesday and have started gaining weight! Grrrrr..... How is this even possible? Anyone else experiencing something similar?

YES ME!! I experienced something very similar! Surgery day Aug.11th 2018 I was 310. Three weeks post op I was down to 292. Then bam up to 296 and bouncing between the two weights for THREE LONG WEEKS! I was so frustrated and upset. I just hit 6 weeks post op yesterday and I'm losing again. I woke up today at 286 I weigh myself every morning and I've just been so happy that I'm losing again. I hope to keep this momentum. I still have worries in the back of my mind but Im just trying to be positive. #trusttheprocess

I went through this as well. As @MizzNewLife and @Frustr8 stated, just Trust the process. I'm in week #5 and have bounced around with 5 pounds since week #3. I know my body is changing because I not only feel it, I see it. Clothes fit better, I have more energy and I feel better. So, just because the scale doesn't move doesn't mean your body isn't changing.

Have faith and #trusttheprocess
