Post-op questions

Hello everyone. I have a question. How long after surgery did you notice a change in your weight?

[Delena2/11 59]

Hello there. I'm only 8 days out and I have lost about 6 lbs since surgery.

I lost 9 lbs the first week. Some people actually gain weight because of all the IV fluids in the hospital.

Yea, the IV - they pumped about 8 lbs into me in 2 days. But I was down 10lbs by the end of the first week.

I lost 18 pounds the first month, then about 4 pounds the second, and after that I lost 9 pounds every month till around 9 months post op...after that it was weird...some months I would lose 12 pounds and others I wouldn't lose any. Everyone is different though. Good luck!

I came home from the hospital up 10lbs. I lost those 10 plus 2 more week one. Week 2 I lost about 10.

Wasn't until about day 4 - 5 before the numbers started going down. Loaded with IV fluids and who knows what else!

I lost 15 in about 11 days. The scale hasn't moved in the last 4.

Wow, thank you everyone. Just really curious. You all have been really helpful. Is there anything that I should know about the surgery? I'm gonna stay over night but worried about what I should know.
