2 weeks post op

I am 2 weeks postop and have lost 23lbs, but ia m cincerned because one day i will have lost weight and the next I will have put on a pound or two, then loss it the next day.  Is this normal? Or I am doinf something wrong.  Also, how long did it take for the swelling in the belly to go down some.  Thanks

Sounds like you're doing something right!  Wow 23 pounds in 2 weeks is FANTASTIC!  Congratulations on that!  It's normal to play with the same 1-2 pounds.  It's most likely water retention and loss.  It's no big deal.  I did that and still do that.  Eventually you will move beyond those 1-2 pounds and start playing with the next set of 1-2 pounds, haha.  How's your energy?  As far as the swelling, seems like mine went down in about 3-4 weeks as best as I can remember.   Keep up the great work.  You'll be skinny in no time!!

Thanks for the reply.  I guess I just worry as to if I am doing something wrong.  I showed my surgeon my food journal and he said it was great.  Couldn;t believe that I could handle eggs aleady, but was really happy.  My energy level is good.  i get up at  and do 1/2 mile on the treadmill.  I went back o work today and me and coworker are doing another 1/2 mile at lunch.
