Sounds normal...and you haven't gained..... I assume you are on liquids.... But you still want to be watching calories and salt intake. You will see a loss before you know it. Your body is in recovery mode.

Everyone reacts to the surgery a little differently. If you have been following your post op diet, you will be fine. Give the body a chance to heal.

I didn't loose any weight the first three weeks after surgery be patient

You are healing and probably starving your body so it is holding onto everything..........things will happen.

Perfectly normal so please don't stress.

My dr said to not weigh everyday. I just had surgery Wednesday. He said to just weigh myself on Wednesdays. He said concentrate on the after surgery diet and then once off of mushies to count calories. Said not to get hung up about the number on the scale.

Weighing daily can mess with your head!

Now is the time for healing, try not to focus on the weight. I suggest putting the scale away for a while. Once your body is healed and you are on regular food, then start weighing.

Good luck to you.

I weigh once a week. Period. And FWIW, here's how jacked up it can be: surgery day: 245, 1-week follow up: 232, 2 weeks post: 235. Am I concerned about that weight gain? Not a bit! I went from about 100 -200 calories a day after surgery to 800-1000 a day this second week. That 232 was partially Water. It was like getting the flu. This is a marathon, not a sprint. "Finishing the race " (weighing a healthy weight) is what matters, not how fast it's done.
