It's temporary weight gain from swelling and all of the fluids they gave you. If it makes you feel any better, I gained 14 lbs in the hospital! My RD said that some patients gain even more. Try not to weigh for at least another week and drink as much as you can. You will be rewarded! Sorry that you are missing out on strawberry season, but think of all of the things that you missed out on bc of your weight that you won't be missing out on anymore. Stay strong! Hope you feel better soon.

I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow and haven't lost anything in the past week. I have only lost 10 lbs total. I don't know what to do. I can barely get my Protein in and have a difficult time with food.< /p>

I am 6 days out and up to my pre-op weight! I can see that my feet and legs are totally swollen up with fluids. I am looking at it like it is banked weight loss that I will see when my system get back to normal. The best thing is that I am so not hungry! So relax and be patient...think about how happy you will be when your system starts behaving itself! :D

Ditto what everyone else said...give your body time to heal. I only lost a pound the first week, 3 the second week, but after 6 weeks I'm down 46 lbs.

It'll happen, just give it time and follow doctor's orders.

I was sleeved the 10th, I'm not losing anything either. It will take time. I lost a lot the first week, I figure my body just needs time to catch up. <Shrugs>

Agree. I also came out of the hospital with significant weight gain. Up about 20 lb. it took a couple weeks to lose the Water weight and then it started to go negative.

I'll see your two pounds and raise you the six I gained overnight in the hospital! :P

A week later, it came off taking some with it! :D

Relax, the weight will come off for you too soon.

Your body is in shock you just had major surgery. You are also no doubt retaining Water from IV fluids,meds etc. I did not see any loss on my scale for 11 days after surgery and like you I gained a couple pounds initially.It will start coming off once your body normalizes.No worries :)

Well that just SUCKS! You would think being on straight liquids getting less than 400 calories a day, one would lose weight!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
