Super bummed

[mh121314 7]

I had my sleeve done 6.22. About a week out I was down 13 pounds. I got on the scale today and I've GAINED 3 pounds back. What the heck? Please tell me this wasn't all for nothing. Sorry for the dramatic-ness of this post, but I am so bummed right now.

I had a similar issue. Lost a lot of week first 10 days and then nothing else until week 4. Posted on every website I could looking for answers. Turns out week 2 and 3 suck for weight loss for just about everyone. You'll start losing again when you can actually eat more food. I think our body just freaks out on so little calories.

I got mine 6/25/17 far I'm down almost 50 in two pounds but I remember when the same thing happened to me, don't worry follow the diet and keep walking.

Nah. Totally normal. My doctor even warned me about it in advance. Just keep taking care of yourself, and the weight will fall off.

I am in the same boat, I had my surgery on 6/21 and I was down 13 lbs and now have been holding at the same weight for 3 days. Guess I have to get more walking in[emoji12]

Ignore it. Don;t focus on the scale right now. You're body will fluctuate the first month as it adjusts to your new lifestyle.

Get off the scale! Seriously!
You are healing and retaining Fluid and none of that gain is real. Nearly everyone does this and freaks out. The best advice I was given was to stay off the scale! I'm over six weeks out and steadily losing now. Just heal and focus on Protein and Water.

Im 2.5 months out and weighed myself this morning and the scale was up 3 pounds. It's nothing to worry about. I eat 600-700 calories a day and know it's not really weight gain, it's just being human--and a woman. I'll lose two or three days in a row, stall for a few days, sometimes go up, even, and by the end of the week I'm back to my loss weight. Then, on the eighth day I'll have a two or three pound loss again. It can get frustrating and this is why they say only weigh yourself once a month, but I'm a scale addict.
