    Default gaining weight 2 weeks post surgery

    Hello, I just over two weeks post surgery and have actually started gaining weight. My weight stayed the same for about a week, and today I noticed I have gained two pounds. Super confusing and frustrating. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on here?

    Yep.
    You are going through the 3-week stall.
    That is a real thing.
    Don't worry, keep doing what you are supposed to do and you will be fine.
    Promise!
    Here's a tip: https://www.gastricsleeve.com/forum/...ad.php?t=68836
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    STAY OFF YOUR SCALE. Yes, I am yelling. Right now your body is totally confused, and I realize it makes no sense at all to gain when you're not eating much at all, but it happens to all of us. (Yes, I was crying on the phone to my nurse at the bariatric center way back when, so I understand how frustrating it is). As long as you are following the program, you will be FINE. I promise. Before you know it the weight will fall off so fast something will be too big before you even take the tags off.

    The best thing to do is only weigh yourself once a week while losing. That way you won't be driving yourself crazy. If you can't do it, have a family member hide your scale. In the time it took me to lose the weight I weighed on Mondays. I lost every week except 4, twice I gained and twice I stayed the same. No biggie.

    I gained ten pounds for the sleeve (day 2) and 12 pounds (day 2) for my last surgery in March.

    After a surgery your body is inflamed and inflammation can trigger water retention. I also gain weight with all meds. So do not worry, just follow your guideline and the weight will go down very soon!
