bluetigereyes 95 Posted March 26, 2012 its perfectly normal to gain a little after surgery. You had several liters of fluids going in you during surgery, you have swelling and many other factors. Plus, liquids can be high in sodium (especially broths). Dont focus on the scale for at least 3 weeks after surgery, it will just disappoint you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mizpk83 9 Posted March 27, 2012 Hi Tash.. You may have to watch the sodium I was banded on the 21st at surgery I was 235 then day after went to 225 weird huh.. Lol I think it was the scale because the next day it was 233 but I've only had popsicles... Jello... And low sodium broth today at 6 days post op I'm 229. It is so hard for me to get anything in.

kali82 0 Posted March 28, 2012 I'm about 7 months out and I did gain a few during the first 6 weeks. Its about healing not losing. I didn't actually start to notice a difference in my clothes until 2 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gracious 3 Posted March 28, 2012 I had gained 5 pounds also after surgery! Its very common... @dropping_weight I had to wait 6 weeks until my first fill.... Im 12 weeks out and i have only had two fills due for another next week.....I had lost most of my 38 pounds in the first 7-8 weeks and now I have been losing like 2 to 3 pounds a week...
