not to happy!!

Hi, I had my surgury 4 weeks ago. I am intruducing my self to soft food. But when I steped on the scale today and yesterday, I have gained 2 pounds. Is this normal when you hit this stage?

I am still post op so don't take my word as gospel truth. But what I have learned from others and also from previous attempts of my own weight loss..... Chuck the scale out the window. Weigh ONE time per week. THe same day, wearing same amount of clothing, same time of day or what have you. For me -- when I am "trying to loose weight" I weigh every Sunday Morning before my shower. Each person is different. You can very easily become slave to your scale. My other thought is once I am post op ( hopefully in next month or two) I will go to my PCP office once a week or every few weeks and weigh on their scale..... Good luck and keep pluggin at it!! Love, Gala

Hi Rosemary, I'm very new to this board and am still pre op, but just wanted to say to keep you head up. I'm sure before you know it, weight will be dropping off. Best of luck. Sheri

It's okay. You are probably also increasing your activity which will build muscle which could cause temporary gain. Stick to the rules and it will be okay.
