Post op weight gain?



Recommended Posts

So I was sleeved yesterday afternoon. I weighed in at the hospital yesterday morning at 241#. I got released home today & stepped on my scale.. 256#?!?!?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!? The doc said I would have some extra weight from all the IV fluids & gas pumped in to me.. But 15#??? Did anyone else gain this much immediately after surgery? If so, how long did it take you to lose it?

I was sleeved 10/22. I was 299 on day of surgery. When I got home I was 308. Took about 4 days to see the weight go. It's all te fluids they give you. You are dehydrated the day of your surgery so your body automatically retains to make up for the nothing by mouth order prior to surgery. It will get better. Dot weigh your self every day. I do it once a week. Good luck and welcome to the bench!! :-)
