Two weeks post and gained a pound



Recommended Posts

Sleeve surgery was two weeks ago today. I've lost a total of 17 lbs, but from yesterday to today I've gained a pound! I realize it's only one pound but this early on I had hoped never to see the scale go in the opposite direction!

I didn't weigh every day on other diets, but this one is different, this is a new lifestyle and very exciting!!!

Wondering how many early on weighed everyday? And if you don't/didn't how do you stay away from the scale? !?

Water weight!!! Do not freak out!! Your weight will fluctuate daily...You are losing inches and your body compensates by holding on to some water..Please don't weigh yourself every day..I know that is hard because we all want that weight to fly off but our bodies are adjusting (healing) from major surgery...Keep doing what you are doing and ignore the scales for a while..You can do this!!!

I'm 5.5 weeks out and only weigh once a week. I have lost weight every week. I think it is too easy to get upset by weight fluctuations when weighing daily.

I remember knowing I was losing weight when smaller clothes were fitting but the scale did not move. Definitely put the scale away and follow your plan. It will always cause you aggravation!!!!

Sadly, it's just part of the process. You will see small (2-3) pound gains here and there.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
