I think this is fairly common. My surgeon told me don’t actually weigh until I see him at my post op. 🤣🤣 I was sleeved on 12/11 and my post op is 12/23. Unfortunately I’m hard headed and I did it anyway. I’m down to 245 my beginning was 265. 😩 I was mildly disappointed at first but then when I actually thought about it, any loss is a good loss.

That is a great loss! That is 20lbs!!! Don't be disappointed at all in yourself. You are doing AMAZING!

TONS of us appear to *gain* after surgery. Its common and totally is a source of frustration. Luckily the goal is to lose fat not just weight.

Hi-

Like others said, totally normal! I know I "gained" 10 pounds after my surgery.

I actually have very similar starting weight and height stats as you @Quinnmedicinewoman52 . I am now six months out and I am down 100+ pounds. Just hang in there, work your Doctor's plan, and keep the faith. Good things are coming your way. Looking forward to hearing about all your many victories to come!

(Congrats on being on the other side of surgery, too!)

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! #looking forward to victoriestocome!

I had my surgery on 12/12 and I refused for them to tell me my weight on their scale because I use mine at home and I wanted it to be consistent. After all, it's not the number really that matters but the amount lost. I have lost 18lbs as of this morning since surgery and am super excited about that. In time you will lose and just focus on how you feel and like others say the inches. I know I'm thankful all that gas they pumped in me is gone lol. That was horrible on all levels. Pretty sure I was up in pounds the first few days.

@jlb8080, thank you so much you all have been so encouraging and I am so appreciative of this forum and good friends like you all!
