That happens to us all. Don't get discouraged. I'm sure the weight will start melting off soon.

I've been doing the same ever since my surgery. Maybe try not weighing yourself as much? I get on the scale everyday which I probably shouldn't but can't help. Not sure how often you weigh yourself but maybe once a week would be great so you can eliminate feeling discouraged. Good luck, keep up the incredible work!!!

Water retention or waste making its way through your intestines...is very common, and, as others have said, is one of the reasons they encourage us only to weigh weekly

I get on the scales every morning. After I reach my goal I will get on the scales every single day! In the past I could gain weight so stinking fast so I feel I need to weigh every day so if I'm up a pound I can deal with it. I feel it's easier to be up a pound or two and get that back off then weight a week and be up 5 pounds. I've had that happen before I had surgery. One week it might be 5 extra pound then the next week a couple more. So yeah I'm gonna weigh every day so maybe I can keep on top of it.

I am dealing with the same thing right now. 2 weeks post op. I am trying not to get frustrated, I mean I am following all the rules it is impossible to not lose weight right! I feel thinner and eventually my crapo scale will agree with me and until then I will keep on keeping on!

It WILL come off promise! It's impossible for it not to just takes a while for your body to figure out what the heck is going on. I posted and responded to so many posts about the same thing in the beginning and now at 7 weeks I'm consistently losing. Not every day but every week. It will happen!

Thanks everyone for this post! I just got on the scale & for the second morning in a row I was up a little bit & I was starting to freak out. I'm 3 weeks out and I was racking my brain trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I'm so glad to hear that it is normal.

      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?
