WorkinOnMe 596 Posted May 12, 2016 I fluctuate up & down within 2 lbs on a regular basis ... especially if I am in the middle of a stall. It could be Water, it could be your body adjusting, it could be the scale playing terrible, horrible tricks on you. Seriously though, it happens to me all the time.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted May 12, 2016 None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience stalls and slow downs. Almost everyone experiences a stall about three weeks after surgery. Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your fluids and Protein, and stay off the scale.

Your body, your journey. Everyone is different. I have friends who were sleeved and my weight loss was completely different than theirs. I have a TON of stalls, one after another after another. My % lost is different than theirs was. But then again, my body is different than theirs, my lifestyle is different than theirs, and my expectations and effort is different than theirs. Follow your program, get plenty of Water and Protein and exercise as much as you are able. Spend some time rediscovering yourself & the things you like to do. As @@Inner Surfer Girl said, stay off the scale a bit and shift your focus. It will all come in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miss_smiles 192 Posted May 13, 2016 I am 7 weeks out and only 35 pound down. Stay off the scale it is your WORST enemy. I do weekly weigh ins, and it is so much better.

atlmag 77 Posted May 13, 2016 Definitely try to not weigh yourself more than once a week for the first 5 months I weighted myself every Monday morning. Recently I started weighing myself more often and it's really just a roller coaster through the week. Enough to make me crazy when I went up overnight, in the end by the time Monday rolls around I'm usually showing a lose for the week (every once in a while I stayed the same).
