It's either Water weight, your scale being weird (they do that -- by the way, is this the same scale?), or weighing at a different time of day. I promise you that you haven't gained two pounds of fat in two days given how you are eating. My best advice: keep following your doctor's instructions and STAY OFF THE SCALE. It will only drive you nuts.

watch your sodium in your food. And cut down on carbs if you are eating them make sure that you are not adding fats to your diet.... it will cause your weight loss to stop...... that's what the Dietcian advised us. ARe you using regular mayo in your tuna salad..... it's high in fat. You may just be retaining Fluid. Try drinking more Water and see what happens and go back to the Protein shakes for one day with one light meal maybe? IDK we are all learning here.....

I refuse to weigh myself daily..... I go by my looks and the fact that my clothes feel lose on me..... I'll weigh every two weeks maybe..... I'm not about to torture myself with the scale..... :)

Yea .. I usually weigh in the am but today I weighed when I got home. I am so careful I use light mayo and light everything. Sodium low. Carbs are at like 15 per day. Maybe I should hit the gym ?

It is really unlikely that you can eat enough calories at 3 weeks to gain actual fat, i have to say. You are also coming up on possible 3 week stall.....give it time and just stay on plan. Start your exercise as soon as your doctor gives the ok, it will give you a lot of benefits.

Is it that time of the month? A wk before The Curse appears I can gain more than 5lbs. It doesn't go away until after my cycle ends. Either way I'm sure it's normal and not a big deal. Weight fluctuates back and fourth all the time a few pounds. Don't stress and only weight in once a wk. In the end inches and sizes lost matter more next to health.

So funny you say that because I woke up today and found out why I've been having mood swings for 2 days ( TOM ) I always get bloated during this time. It could be the reason. My doctor has ok the gym but I am in pain all the damn time even while taking my oxycodone. They say its normal and will go awauy.

I battled the same 5 lbs for three weeks when I hit the 3rd week stall. Don't worry, the loss will start again :)

I always weigh more in the evening. Sometimes 2 lbs more. Weigh at the same time everyday.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
