18 lbs in the first 2 weeks and a gain in week 3!?

[SheWi 7]

I'm 3 weeks post op today and feeling a little down. The first 2 weeks were wonderful....didn't have any issues and was losing weight at an incredible pace. Now, I've just finished my 3rd week and weighed this morning and have actually gained 3 lbs. I guess it's back to Protein Shakes and broth again!!!

Water weight isn't fat and it's NOT likely that you added 3# of fat!

Ive been stuck at the same weight 3 weeks in for about a week now. This is frustrating.

I completely understand. I am 8 weeks out and only 27lbs down post op. I got on the scale the other day and had gained two pounds...seriously! I'm so frustrated. I'm working out and eating right..what the heck!

Our bodies are resistant to change even with surgery but it will pass. I was in your shoes several months ago.
