Actually there is something called starvation mode. I actually had my two week post op today and met with my surgeon and nutritionist and they brought up starvation mode when I complained about my stop in weight loss. When you workout you gain muscle so that causes the stall and possible weight gain of a couple pounds before you actually start losing weight. Don't add to or take away from your diet with consulting your team first. Trust me that's what I did and I am medical for over 15yrs. Just keep following your diet and you will get past this no problem. By the way 15lbs is awesome congrats. Remember the small victories and don't be discouraged

I had my surgery on the 18th and weigh myself everyday along with power walking for 30min daily. This is week 2 and I gained 3lbs so far and it is very upsetting I mean I didn't put myself through all this. Then I remembered when you workout you gain muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. My legs are slimming and clothes are fitting. So what if this week the scale isn't moving it will soon enough. So to all of you if you are doing any kind of workout your scale is going to move up before it goes down.

Mine was April 28th
