I can't understand I had my surgery on July 29th.  I didn't have a preop diet.  While on the liquid diet I lost lost lost 15lbs. Now that I'm eating soft foods I fluctuate up and down 2 lbs.  This is so annoying.  Has anyone experienced this?

Totally normal for small weight fluctuation.  

My recommendation:  stay off the scale.  It'll drive you NUTZ!!!  

Just work your program, adjust to eating this new way, and getting all your water in, and walkwalkwalk.

You've lost 15 lbs over the past 3 weeks and you're annoyed?

I think she lost 15lbs before surgery on the pre op diet, than only 2lbs in the last month.

I  am annoyed that once I started eating I stopped losing.  This is a revision from the sleeve and the same thing happened with that.  Come to find out my sleeve was done incorrectly.  I am just nervous about failing again.  The 15lbs is great! But I have been sitting at this up and down point for the past week.  Just concerned not annoyed!

Sorry. I read the original post wrong.

I can only speak from my experience, but the beginning was when I lost the fastest. You are in teh beginning. Based on my experience, I would say the scale should be moving. 

 

You need to 1) keep a log of your foods (what and how much) and 2) see your doc/nut with your food/exercise logs in hand.

If I check my calendar I would say you are hitting the infamous 3-week stall that many of u**** regardless of the type of surgery.  If you are eating on plan I promise that the scale will start to move again! :-)
