3 wks out and weight gained

Is it normal to actually gain weight this soon?? I thought it was supposed to just drop off! The first 2 weeks I lost 25lbs, and now I gained 1 lb. I know this isnt much but, it's going the wrong way :)  . Just wondering if anyone experienced this as well.

Wow 25 pounds in 2 weeks!  MUCH more than I lost in 2 weeks:)  I did gain 1 pound every once in a while..I freaked out!  Don't worry, it DOES come off:) 

First off throw away that scale... okay.. just put it away....

Your body is going to flux a few pounds even daily... water, hormones, healing, etc... salt even...

I am almost 7 months out and I only weighed myself once a month when I was a fresh post op.. and mostly let my clothes do the talking for me. 

Now I weigh once a week. I always go up a few lbs around my monthly cycle, and I try to drink more water then because I tend to need alot of sleep then and get tired easily.  And then I lose a few again... the flux...

You'll also notice when you're losing fat and the whole estrogen hormone flux thing.. I would retain, stall.. and then lose a bunch of numbers on the scale again...

It's totally normal...  :)

25 pounds in a month is fantastic - it really is!  1 pound is nothing to be concerned about and just normal weight fluctuation.  You will have normal fluctuations and stalls but as long as you are following your post-op plan, you should have great results.  It took me 2 years to reach my goal of losing 101 pounds.  I have since lost 15 more and am the smallest I've been since high school and am at a healthy weight!  It came off slow, but now in retrospect, I'm glad it did!

Good luck and keep up the great success!
