Normal to be STUCK already?

Is this normal? My surgery was on October 17th & another one on the 22nd, and I haven't lost anymore weight in the last FIVE days!!!! Two of those days I actually showed a slight gain???? Is this normal?? I'm worried that this isn't going to work for me? Is anybody else having these feelings? What do I have to do to get the scales to start going DOWN again??? Thanks for any insight! Cindy

Cindy, I feel the same way! My surgery was Oct. 27th. Between the bowel prep and clear liquid diet following the surgery, I lost 15 lbs at last Monday's post op visit. In this week I haven't lost anything and I think I gained around 2 lbs. I feel I'm taking in more water than I'm outputting so I don't know if it's water retention or not but it is so frustrating!! I'll be curious to see if this happens often to other people. Roberta

Roberta, It's really frustrating isn't it???!!!! Especially when I GAINED a bit!!!! But everyone's telling me that this is normal. I just pray it will be soon that I see the scale move down!! Thanks for your reply! Cindy

Highjack!! My surgery was Oct 27th also!! Sheryl

It is normal... we just have to relax...I'm going crazy too, but I've been reading it is normal... so all we have left to do is wait!!
