Two weeks post and gained a pound

[AmyV 82]

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.
