We all weigh very heavy after surgery due to IV fluids. It will come off in about a week! No worries!

I also put on 6 pounds the day after surgery. It is all Fluid. On day 4 it finally went away and I am back to the weight I was the morning of surgery.

Thanks all. Concerned by the surprise of the nurses. Was overnight in hospital so was on fluids for quite a while.

don't panic !!!!!, Its from the surgery. I gained 14 pounds of Fluid, I lost the fluid and then some.

It's19 days after surgery. for me and I'm 23 pounds down. Give it about 4 days and you will start dropping excess fluid and more!! ;.)

How is it going for you? It will help if you do continue to constantly drink... What they said about fluid intake is true....Try diet Peach snapple..its awesome and makes drinking fluids much easier.

Well good look and keep us posted on your progress.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
