I got on the scale this morning and i gained 4 lbs! Wth?? The same thing happened to me last month and I dnt know why. I was going along so good and then bang. The only thing I can think of is that I ran out of Protein Drinks and I'm not getting my Protein in now. That happened last month too. I don't exercise like I should, but I counteract that with cleaning. I clean hard and vigorously everyday, with and occasional walk on the treadmill here and there. And I dnt have a period due to an oblation I had and few years back, but I can tell when it's my time because my boobs hurt really bad. And when I gained last month it was around that time. But this time it isn't. Does everyone fluctuate 5 lbs? Has anyone else had this? Or am I doing something wrong? I can still only eat a few bites at a time so I dnt think I'm overheating

Our weight does fluxuate different times per day as well as daily. If you are concerned with over doing it call your nutritionist. Are you getting in your Water? I wish you the best. I too have gained and lost here and there.

[jenni9579 18]

Thank you! I dnt really drink straight Water but I drink it with mio, and I drink a lot of tea with Splenda in it. I have an appointment coming up soon with my nut so I'll talk to her. It's just. Wry frustrating but I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one. Thank you again!

Not sure what you are down overall but in short term (a week os short term), lots of things cause fluctuations but so long as the trend is in tact. This has happened to me a few times and it does suck.

I was sleeved on July 22.

HW: 272

CW: 218

GW: 170

I've lost a total of 54 lbs. I'm more than half way to my goal. I know that i can do better. I let my old/bad habits get the best of me sometimes. Also, weekends are rough for me. I go off schedule, don't eat enough Protein, or drink enough fluids. I also indulge on things that are bad for me on the weekends (wine, sweets). Ughh...

[jenni9579 18]

@rak I was down 61 lbs before that 4 lb evilness occurred lol. I was sleeved on 7/24.

Pre op wt: 396

Dos: 386

CW: 338

I hope it goes away fast

[beachsleever 25]

Sleeved July 29th lost about 41 pds

[Vegasme 30]

I was sleeved 7/22/13... Officially down 51lbs from surgery date .. I too am having trouble motivating to get to the gym ( hate it)! But I need to tone so I don't have floppy skin so far I'm ok . I pretty much eat what I want - cant eat much and I try to get in Protein or meat first. Thank God I enjoy Soups because often they are my go to lunch - I can usually get Soup down easier and feel satisfied. Everyone in my family says I still try to eat too fast which in turn makes me miserable after just a few bites.. I try to slow down but my mind is telling me this is delicious - your hungry -eat ?! Loving the sleeve - feel so much better and able to move around, get dressed, not feel so tired ))
