MegInNOLA 531 Posted July 26, 2011 Jennifer, after surgery I weighed a LOT more than before, thanks to all the fluids they pumped in during my stay at the hospital. Give your body some time to adjust. Keep following your doctor's eating plan. The weight will come off. I think you're doing great if you're getting in most of your Protein and water--the first week after surgery, I could barely get 8 ounces of Water in, and that took some serious effort! Just hang in there. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AutumnLily 77 Posted July 26, 2011 Your body is saying WTF!!!! and may be holding onto Fluid right now. Give it some time the weight will start to drop off soon. I promise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chatty 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Hi Jennifer I had my sleeve done just three weeks ago... I managed to lose 11kg before the op - and since coming out, according to the scales I have only lost a couple of pounds in the three weeks. However, my body is going smaller. When I went to pick up my prescription earlier, I was talking to the pharmacist. I told her that I didn't think I'd lost (according to the scales) but that my body was definitely going smaller. She then began to explain that once you start eating again after the operation, the liver re fills itself and everyone gains a little weight immediately after surgery. It sounded plausable when she explained it to me... you will lose, be patient and watch it drop off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
