possibly Fluid fluctuations and some inflammation?

Did you have IV fluids in the hospital? This will definitely cause weight gain but it will come off.

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>

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...

      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.
