Hi, I had a VSG on October 27th and have just been moved to soft food. I am following the nutritionist recommendations for food and portions. Over the last week I have not lost any weight and this morning am up 2lbs. Is this normal?

you're in the three-week stall. Happens to almost everyone. Just stick to your program and stay off the scale if you have to. It usually lasts 1-3 weeks.

as for the 2 lb bump up, if you've been following your plan, that's not a true weight gain. Could be water retention or constipation. Or maybe a hormone-related gain. Just give it a couple of days.

I literally just got on the site because I was going to ask this same thing. But first I was like let me scroll some posts I may find an answer. I had my sleeve on 10/29/2020. I just started regular foods. I haven't over ate, haven't had any sugar, I've been trying to keep my sugar at like 1 gram if any. And the little tiny bit I just started eating I make sure its healthy. My weigh days are Tuesdays, I cheated and weighed Friday too. Was down to 301. I weighed today after my bath, and am at 303.

Hello. My surgery date was on October 28, 2020, and I'm still in the puree stage. I've been afraid to go to the soft food stage due to all the complications I've read about it. The first week in December, I plan to start the soft food stage with seafood. So far, I'm thirty pounds down, however, I'm not drinking enough water on a daily basis.

It's the infamous Week 3/Week 4 Stall. EVERYBODY goes through it. Your body is wondering what food is now that you're reintroducing it to your system and you body is still healing from a major surgery. No worries, it starts moving again.
