Day after surgery

Today I had a one pound weight gain. Fortunately, I knew that I would have a gain right after surgery because of the fluids they pump in you and the swelling at the surgery site.

I felt pretty miserable last night and took a narcotic tablet that we had leftover from some back pain awhile back. My doctor doesn't prescribe narcotics...just an NSAID and I'm already on some of those (Voltarin) for my rheumatoid arthritis. This morning, I took 1/2 tablet and feel a little better.

I'm wondering how much weight I will have to lose to go down a size? I just bought (online) a shirt to wear for Thanksgiving that is in my current size (but tight right now). I hope it literally hangs on me! We'll see...

i'm not trying to tell you what to do, but don't weight until the day you go for the check up ,otherwise you will be playing with your mind. YOU WILL LOSE WEIGHT so don't put yourself throught it. I'm waiting until my check up. GOOD LUCK

I haven't had my band surgery yet but the day I came home from having my hysterectomy (3 days after surgery) I had gained 27 lbs! It was all fluid from the swelling but I nearly fell on the floor! I would take everyone's advice and stay away from the scale until your follow up - don't drive yourself crazy!
