Bulldog51 8 Posted December 27, 2016 Hey all, I have my 6 week follow up tomorrow and I went down some weight but gained weight back. I'm not doing anything I shouldn't be and am pretty nervous with some weight gain. What is the typical weight loss at the 6 week mark?

2ndSpring 350 Posted December 28, 2016 the scale showed a weight gain for me between my 1 week visit and my 1 month visit. I believe it is because at the 1 week visit I was dehydrated and hadn't yet eaten anything so my body was empty - so the scale registered an extra 10 lbs of weight loss that had nothing to do with fat. Don't worry about the scale at this point. As long as you are following the diet plan, the weight will come off at whatever pace your body thinks is right for you. and just wondering....is your name a sports or school reference or do you have bulldogs? asking because I have an English bulldog.

creatingthenewme 91 Posted December 30, 2016 I only had about a two pound weight loss from my 1 week to 1 month post-op appointment. I immediately lost about 17 pounds in the first 5 days after surgery and it stopped. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I asked the surgeon's office about it and they said that it's completely normal . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andell 53 Posted December 30, 2016 To they use a body composition scale? If so did the body fat go down? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
