Overnight weight loss

[IWuzaFatDuck 32]

So I was sleeved 4/25/2019 and have had a few stalls. Most recently I was stuck at 203-204. I always weigh myself on the same scales and nothing on. The nurse is still getting used to that. (I kid, I kid).

So I've was stuck there for more than a week. Weighing every morning. When I lose weight it's usually overnight and I would see up to a pound drop from bedtime to waking up.

I assumed that I would slowly creep up on sub 200 but instead went from 203 - 197 in one night. I weighed myself six times because I couldn't believe it. That was yesterday. This morning I'm 196 so there is my usual pound.

Anyone else ever have a huge drop overnight?

I haven't lost that much in so little time since I had malaria

Only when I have a major dump the night before which happens occasionally.

I have lost up to 3 pounds overnight. I am a runner and walker, this I do every day. I don't weigh myself every day but I do once a week, that way I don't get disappointed if I don't lose. Good luck with your journey.

Or if you have been eating salt and then reduced the amount. Water follows salt. It can also be from Fluid that is held in your muscles to help store sugar. You can have fluid loss from this, and might be due to changes in exercise and using up the glycogen reserves. I have had large losses overnight, as well, but I think it is mostly fluid shifts. The great thing is if it actually stays off!!!

I agree with the above. It sounds like Water weight more than anything.

Please don't think that Im being nosey here, but might I suggest getting away from the whole weighing yourself every day? Or maybe try once a week or 5 days? The daily ups and downs of weight loss/gains can really play with your head.

Yes! Google “weight loss whoosh”. Basically your body is retaining Water so that even if you are losing fat, the scale doesn’t change. Then one day for some unexplained reason, your body decides to release all that water. This is actually the only way that I lose weight- I’ll be at the same weight for 2-3 weeks then wake up one morning 7 lbs lighter. It’s very consistent and super strange but I’ve gotten used to it by now! I’ve also noticed that I’m more likely to have a whoosh the morning after I’ve cheated a little bit on my diet (shhh don’t tell ;)
