Slow Weight Loss 3 weeks after Surgery
Minxie89 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 8/24/15 with a starting weight of 261. I went in for a post op visit on 9/05/15 and weighed in at 245. I have weighed myself every 3 days ever since then, and a few times my weight has gone UP! And now, almost two weeks later, I'm only down two pounds! I'm just really confused. I tried to leave a message with my doctor's office but its 4 pm on a Friday, so hearing back from them in order to ease my mind before the weekend is a pipe dream if I ever heard one. My question is, is it possible to be losing inches and visibly looking like I"m losing weight when really my scale is 'barely moving'? I'm concerned because I was told in the first couple months, the weight would be falling off. I've been following my surgeon's food plan which, according to other forums I've read tends to be one of the stricter diets. I did 2 weeks of low carb before surgery, 2 weeks of liquid after, and I'm now about 2 weeks into pureed food. I do a lot of Protein additives into fruit mixes with plain yogurt as the base. I also do a lot of atkins Protein shakes. I'm not doing that great on my Water intake, and I feel like maybe my body is holding on to water and thus water weight. I'm only experiencing BMs about once every 3 days. At my last visit, they told me having a BM only about once every 2-3 days is fairly normal... but sometimes I'm not sure if it is. Please give me your two cents because I really am concerned with my results thus far. -

it was very informative but not very supportive. It also assumes that I have not done a simple google search. I wanted to have a conversation.. facilitating shared experiences, maybe some reassurance... but that's okay. Now I understand how this community operates. -

Love the canned response... thanks, I guess. -
