Yep my scale is exactly What's up... I lost 12lbs my first week and gained 2lbs my second??? What is going on? Is this not working for me? Is my few slip ups making this surgery ineffective? So stressed and angry right now.

What's going on is that you are losing weight in a normal way.  Most people don't lose constantly.  It's normal for your weight to fluctuate from time to time.  That does not mean your surgeon is not effective.  It just means you're normal.  If that causes a lot of stress and anger, you might want to stay off the scale for a while.

It is frustrating!! I lost 33 lbs the first 15 days and now almost 15 days without losing 1 single lb!! I was told it is normal but it made me so angry not to see the scale move!! Trying to stay away from it as well

I only weigh myself once a week on Wed. That works for me. Maybe trying putting the scale away for a month, or even a week!!

Give your scale away.  The Miracle will happen, as long as you don't slip up.  Patience is the key.  Good Luck Samantha !

I am 6 weeks out now, and for the last 3 weeks, I have learned to only weigh myself once (sometimes twice) a week. It will drive you nuts to see that one day you can lose, then put on a few the next morning! Your body is going through a major chance and it is also learning how to react to things differently as well! Congratulations on the weight loss!

Congrats on the loss!  Net net, it is still great!

Try drinking more water.  Sometimes the sodium we introduce can flip weight by 2-3%.
