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!

      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.
