If you're weighing yourself every day, you'll definitely see some fluctuation. I was guilty of getting on the scale every day (OK, multiple times a day!) but I only "officially" weighed in once a week.

Keep in mind that daily fluctuation is very normal and can be due to Water weight, approaching that time of the month, etc.

If you're 3 weeks out, you could also have hit a stall as a lot of people do around that time. Just be patient, keep on your plan, and the weight loss will eventually continue!

WOW! 3 weeks out and already down 21 pounds?? That's excellent! Congrats. My surgery is on Thursday and I am very nervous, but excited for the results.

I'm 6 days out and have lost 18 lbs. It's been a pound here, 2 there, but today when I got on, I lost 3. I was shocked because I actually got more "food" in today. Go figure. Goes to show everyone is different.

I'm totally guilty of weighing myself everyday too. I think it's natural in the beginning. When I hit a stall, I'll stop doing that so I won't drive myself crazy.

Keep up the good work everyone!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
