Post Op Day 6 Weight Gain

[Killian 270]

I am 6 days out from surgery, and have been loosing about a pound a day. Until this morning, I weighed myself this morning and was +1.3 pounds. Is this normal? I know your body can fluctuate weight daily, but still a pound and a half gained??

Don't worry about that at all Killian. I weighed myself everyday since surgery as well and I was down every day, then the other day it said I went up 2lbs, today when I went on the scale I was down 3. Weight fluctuation happens to everyone which is why they suggest we only weight ourselves once a week (although that is tough to do). You will see it come off.

Totally fine - this might be a Water and some bowel mass piling up. You will dump that in a couple of days for sure

Don't check your scale on daily basis - do that once per week, on the same day, same time - just as jcb123 suggested.

Just pretend this is not your poo, but your "inner spirit"!

Update 1/14/18: I am down to 216, just 6 pounds away from being out of the "Obese" category! I find that the sleeve prevents me from over eating, which is exactly why I chose this surgery. It is performing as advertised. I just have to control what it is that I eat. I can easily get down a slice of pizza, but two? Won't even attempt it. And the beauty part is, I don't want that second piece. One slice, and I am done, satisfied. But that does not happen often, as I tend to eat right and make healthy choices because I feel a whole hell of a lot better.
