The Scales!

Phoenix Rising

374 views

Hi Everyone,

 

Well another good nights sleep. Yesterday I managed to clock up 84 ozs of fluid. Woohoo! I am really pleased but as I said before a little disconcerted. Especially when I read of so many struggling to get half of that down. Thanks for the comments ladies.

 

I am pleased but beginning to think I must have a way bigger stomach left than everyone else. I finally got on the scale today too. (Weird, before surgery you couldn't get me off the darn thing) I knew (again from reading on here) that you could gain weight from the iv fluids etc that they pump you full of in hospital. Also, because I retain water I was kind of expecting to weigh more. Well, I was not disappointed to find I did weigh more, but didn't expect it to be quite so much more. I must be a full 7lbs up on when I went into hospital!!!!!! I am also 6 days out from surgery so had hoped to have lost some of it (if I am honest, I thought I would have lost all of it by now).

 

So, although I am not too downhearted I am hoping to hear lots of people chime in and tell me the same thing happened to them and within days it will all disappear. OK Ladies that is a very large hint, please.

 

Apart from the weight, I am still happy that I did this, still feel well, and content.

Yea, I gained 11 lbs. after surgery. It took 1 whole week just to lose the fluid weight. I'm in week 6 and have lost 21 lbs. so far. I need to lose a total of 95 lbs. I'm 55 years old so I don't think I will lose as fast as some of the younger people. Now I seem to lose 1 lb. every 3 or 4 days.
