Calm down! 2 lbs can be nothing more than temporary Water weight gain. Wait a couple of days and it will go back down.

just remember the scale is just a tool to measure by. it surely can go up and down according to Water gain or loss so just keep up the good work and the 2 pounds (of probably water) will be gone before you know it!

I gain and lose 2-4 pounds all the time. It's like waves coming and going. If I go up 5-10 pounds in a short period I get concerned. So far it has not happened.

Many factors: exercise, sodium/potassium levels, Water consumption, stress, phase of the moon, (ok, not the phase of the moon, that has more to do with beard growth :unsure: ), contribute to the scale report.

The scale is a superficial observer, never delving into the heart, probably like many of the slime guys you ladies have known. B)

I gain all of the time. Just less than I lose.

If you saw a weight loss chart by days, it would zig zag up and down, up and down in a gradual decline over time.

Nothing unusual.

Thanks for the support y'all. I just haven't been in a very good place and I'm frustrated. I have been unable to exercise due to an injury and I'm like a hawk with the scale as a result. Ugh! I'll try to remain calm!!! :)

You weigh less at 4 am then you do at noon, it is perfectly normal for a person (sleeved or not) to fluctuate everyday through out the day, and have patterns in a month. They say never weigh yourself everyday, but once a week, so you can see the overall progress.

      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?
