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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
