5 Days Post-Op And Weight Gain. Wth

[smb 75]

Just curious -- I gained almost 20 lbs from surgery. It sucks. When do you finally lose the Water weight from all the IV fluids? I guess that's what this weight is. Tomorrow is day 5.

I can now relate to people who are scared this won't work for them. i am seeing AGAIN the same pre-op weight I've looked at for 8 months. Sigh. It's haunting me.

I didn't start losing until into my second week after surgery and I gained around 10lbs from the Fluid. Don't let it get you down, it is normal and the weight will start coming off.

Thank you for the reassurance.

Like waiting for the surgery, now waiting for the weight loss... Waiting is difficult!

I wouldnt weigh in for at least a week-or even 2.....watching the scale does nothing for you, but make you sad and depressed. when you finally do get on it after this time...you will be giddy!
