Measurable weight fluctuates all of the time most people's progress looks like spikes & stairs instead of a straight line down, scales don't always reflect the work you put in, try looking at other indicators for your progress also like measurements and how clothing/shoes fit.

Unless you are deviating from your plan, you will see it happen eventually. Try to be patient, as hard as it is...

Water, your cycle, the heat...these can all create fluctuations in weight. Don’t worry

I never loose weight during my cycle. The week after I drop 3/4 lbs. Fluid retention is my guess.

I am one month post op and have been at a stall for the last two weeks. The last couple of days I notice I’m actually gaining weight. It’s so frustrating because I’m following the plan, haven’t even thought about having something I’m not suppose to. The only thing I’ve been bad at is getting in 64+ oz of liquids. I’m usually closer to 50. I’m going to try getting in more to see if that makes a difference. But rest assure you’re not alone!

I had the lapband before and that was a total failure. I know it hasn't been that long, im not even completely healed. I won't worry yet.

The scale is evil. I constantly go up in weight the week before my cycle. It is horrible to step on the scale and weight 4-5 pounds more. Then, my body eventually adjusts back to normal. This happens so it is good to also take measurements and photos.

What the heck?! Surgery was 8/22, I lost 10lbs right away but now I've gained 3 back. I feel like I'm already failing. Has anyone had a similar experience?

some tips, only weigh yourself 1st thing in the morning after using the bathroom and with minimal clothing. Limit weighing yourself to once a week if possible. Many have said it fluctuates and that's so true. Many things happen from the time you wake till the time you sleep and your weight can bounce around just during the course of a day. Keep up good habits and you'll be good!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
