It sounds like everything is normal to me - you are still in the healing phase.

Please remember scales lie they fluctuate focus on following your doc instructions getting into the rhythm of your new life. Get a pair of pants that you grew out of and try them on, keep trying them on til they fit and you get to small for them etc. for enter to not scale watch and work on getting that Protein in. Take it from me I let that go because I didn't like the taste of the drinks or the texture and got very weak and depressed. NOw that i found Isopure I am feeling way better and five months postoperative I have lost over 100lbs.

You are doing well. I am almost 4 weeks out and o gained at 3 weeks. I found out that it was Fluid and after a BM you may be surprised. I am down 25 lbs since DOS. Nut says that gaining weight is normal as your fluid, salt, BM's vary. Good luck and don't stress out.

At my nutrition class the dietician said if you don't get enough Protein or enough Water it can stall your weight loss, she also said everyone is different... Some loose more in the beginning and slow down later and some people loose weight slow in the beginning and have rapid weight loss later. Everyone looses weight at different speeds and not to get too concerned as long as you are doing everything right. Good luck and I'm sure you will be fine!!!

I'm three weeks and few days out and obsessed with the scale. I'm still on puree food, but I weigh myself more than once a day sometimes. scales can grab be you weigh more or less at diff times of the day. I gained 8oz and the next day lost 2lbs. Don't trust your scale or let it upset you. Do what you're supposed to.

      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.
