3 days post opp and emotional!

I had the exact same experience! It sucked! All I was doing was sitting around trying to feel the weight fall off! It is happening now but that day 3 weight was a mistake. I should have listened to all the people who said not to weigh the first week. But' date=' now all is well. It gets better - I'm 6 days out now and already turning into a new person.[/quote']

Lol - waiting to feel the weight fall off.

You are right about weighing. Due to Water retention from IV fluids (I gained 20 lb after 5 days), it might be best to wait until week 3 to begin weighing. However, do be careful about weighing too often because that can definitely lead to disappointment for some. The good thing to look forward to is that most folks lose a lot during the 1st 2 months where the scale is moving 1-3 lbs daily (also depends on your starting weight and BMI). This was the case for me, but definitely not true all around as the many threads on VST documents. Get ready for an exciting journey of new experiences where you are reborn into new eating experiences, new drinking experiences, new exercise experiences and new life experiences.

It's from the IV's definately!!! DO NOT get upset! After a few days as the Water drains out of you the weight will start coming off! You are going to see that scale go up and down a lot over the next few months so try your best eat healthy, eat Protein first, drink lots of water and keep moving everyday and you will lose weight. I was highly emotional too after surgery, not sure why but I remember crying in my husbands lap hysterical because some people really socked it to me, but looking back on it now it was laughable!!! Congrats on your surgery and good luck to you!
