IsaacsGram 58 Posted September 26, 2012 possibly Fluid fluctuations and some inflammation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted September 26, 2012 Did you have IV fluids in the hospital? This will definitely cause weight gain but it will come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izuri 428 Posted September 26, 2012 I found that once I switched to solid food my weight stalled for a while. I assumed it probably had something to do with Fluid retention, which yours may too. If in a couple weeks you are still not on a downward trend I'd start asking questions, but for now you are probably recovering and retaining Water.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree w/ the others I was sleeved 9/12 but the following Wed was back in the hospital for dehydration & my left side incision pain - was pumped full of about 4 bags of IV Fluid & when I went to my 1st follow up on this past Monday & had only lost 4lbs I was discouraged even though I knew it had a lot to do w/ all the Fluid which the nurse told me your doing fine especially due to all that fluid I have in me which she said can take up to a few weeks to finally be out of your system...
