5 weeks out and gained 2lbs?!?

[GettinSlim80 10]

I had my surgery on August 17th. I weighed myself both yesterday and today and each time I had gained a lb. I'm not sure how as I'm barely eating 500 calories per day. I know we plateau...but to do that 5 weeks out?!? I'm stressing about this big time!

Believe it. I had a stall weeks 2 and 3 post-op. Almost everyone has their first one some time in first 4-6 weeks. In fact, we call it "the three week stall", because it often happens the third week, but not always.

Just keep sticking to your program and it will break. Once mine broke, I dropped like 6-8 lbs in just a couple of days

You are still healing, and you are (presumably) drinking a lot of Fluid. Your body is still trying to figure itself out. At my 1 month check in with my surgeon he said he didn't even really worry about weight loss until the 1 month mark.

Stick it out, it'll start coming off.
