@butterflyladi - I hope I spelled that correctly. I had my surgery on 1/22/14. I stayed two nights int the hospital due to an unpleasant reaction to the morphine that was given. By the time I came home on 1/24/14 I was down a total of 15 lbs from the pre op diet and surgery. Since I have been home I have gained 1.6 lbs. I do not understand why. I am on full liquids, getting all of my water in, stopped pain meds completely two days ago. I have not yet had a BM, but I guess my body doesn't feel the need to eliminate anything yet even though it has been over a week. I have also hear dramatic weight loss stories from my friends 13 lbs the first week after surgery. I eke thinking what am I doing wrong.
