Worried

[@lici@ 22]

So I was sleeved on the 17th of Nov. I lost weight the first two weeks but this week I've actually gained back 2 pounds. Now it may not seem alot but it has me super worried. Any one have any advice?

Can you provide more information. What stage of food are you on? Has your food stage changed recently? Are you getting enough Protein and fluids? Are you tracking your food intake? What was your starting BMI?

I had the sleeve on Nov 16th and have had mini stalls twice already. Once after the first week for 4 days, and once this week. The first one I had a 2 lb gain. This time I've been at the same weight for 5 days. I'm totally not sweating it. Is it annoying? For sure. But I know there is no feasible way that I've gained, nor is there no way in mathematical terms that I'm not losing. I'm burning way more calories than I am consuming.

It happens. Don't sweat it. Your body just needs to catch up.

It's not unusual to experience a weight gain. Unfortunately for most of us weight loss is not a linear process. There will be stalls, slow periods and even gains As long as you are meeting Protein and Fluid goals, stay the course. The weight loss will happen.

I'm in my transitional stage and it recently changed on tuesday. I have been trying to track my Protein and food intake. My BMI was 39. I am so thankful for your words of wisdom and feel better. Thank you.

It's nothing you're doing, so don't worry. Just normal fluctuations. I've had a 1-2 pound fluctuation since my surgery 16 months ago. It's hormones, Water, who knows what else.I would also gain a pound when I would stall, then subsequently lose it when the stall ended. As early out as you are, it's not physically possible for you to eat enough to gain 2 pounds.

Now me? I KNOW when it's just a normal fluctuation and when it's me just being piggy

I know how you feel.. I think I'm in a stall mode.. Don't have a scale and this is one reason I don't cause I would be a crazy person...I would like to get one but my nut says not to
