Gained 4 lbs and bummed

[twinsmama05 166]

Nov 7th was my surg date. I have not stepped on the scale in 3 weeks. Been trying to get all my Protein in. And today I step on the scale and gained 4 lbs. I heard of the stall, but the gain? I am do bummed because I'm going to my doc in one week and I will be so embarrassed when I step on that scale. Anyone have this happen?

My stall came with a weight gain, too. It was close to 3 pounds, I think? Since then I've had mostly loss, but occasionally I'll have a couple days where I don't lose, or a day where I put on a pound and take it right back off the next day. Bodies are strange >.>

So very glad to hear this...I have gained two pounds and I'm a month out. Kinda nervous

The first month can be screwy. A lot of people gain weight from anesthesia. You gain Water weight. Constipation from pain medications can also keep the scale from moving as much as normal.

Keep on doing what you know is right. Don't let the scale be your enemy!

If your doc judges you, give him hell!

Yes I had weight gain after my first month out 3 lbs then I started losing again and started losing a pound a day for almost 2 weeks then it stopped and I gained 6 freaking lbs grrrr and 2 weeks later I'm slowly going down again that's where I'm at now, I don't mind the stalls "well I don't like them" but I can't stand when I gain, just know it will won't last for ever and you will start back losing again. :-) Hope this helps.

I am one who weighs every day (yeah I know you shouldnt) but what I have learned from it is that I never really stress about it. I am 2 mos. postop and there have been days that i gain 1-3 lbs at a time and hold it for a couple of days, then start dropping again. It is Fluid Im sure. Overall, thought, you can see the trend down

I also measure every month on my sleeversary date and lose inches even when scale doesnt move too much. (-:

Thanks everyone! It's so funny because I made the decision not to go on the scale and do my best and not be stressed. Oh well that back fired. Maybe I need to step on that scale every couple of days to remind myself of the progress.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer me I really appreciate it.
