I didn't personally experience it, but it's not an uncommon occurrence. Every couple of days someone post with a similar experience. Just continue to follow your program. Your body is still adjusting to a lot of new changes.

Yep, gained 3 pounds at six weeks out and took a month to lose. No worries. Just stick with the program and your overall weight will be downwards.....I promise.

Just keep up with the Protein, liquids, staying within your NUTS recommended calorie counts and getting in some exercise the best you can. I think it is normal to go up and down sometimes, or sometimes stall.

There are lots of reasons why you might 'gain'.

Have you pooped daily?

Did you eat stuff with lots of sodium yesterday?

Did you keep track of everything you ate?

Put the scales away for a week, keep to the plan, drink lots of Water, keep to Protein first, low carbs and weigh yourself in a week. It's annoying when you gain but honestly as long as you are sticking to the plan, it will come off! Best wishes!!

As long as you are adhering to your guidelines it's okay. Your body will adjust and the downward trend will kick back in. Don't let the scale be your guiding light.

      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.
