Am I understanding right that you gain weight right after surgery?

Am I understanding right that you gain weight right after surgery?

You gain Fluid weight from all the IV fluids...will scare the hell out of you on a scale but resolves over 5-7 days....it is not true body fat.....doctors really shoulders us of that!!!! (And maybe poo if you get backed up!!!)

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 226.6

Hi are you ok. We're you nervous about the surgery to cancel it. Im sorry that happened.

Thanks for asking. I did get scared but I didn't cancel. Doc wants me to come on in two weeks and talk to him about my hernia repair while he's in there.

I gained OVER 20 lbs. after surgery from the IV fluids. Surgery was last Wednesday and today I am actually 1 lb. less than pre-surgery!!! So you do loose it quickly...don't worry!

Pre-surgery:210.5 Post-op:224 1wk p/o: 209.5

Really don't think it's fair that I have to go tomorrow to DMV to replace my license because it expires the day of surgery. Why couldn't it expire next year after the weight loss. Can't have that picture hanging around for the next 10 years. May have to loose my license next year:)

I was just wondering on average how long it took everyone to have their first bowel movement after surgery?

3 days

Sorry I didn't check in with everyone yesterday. I had a rough day. I am feeling so much better tonight and I am so proud to be on the losers bench. Swallow test was good and hopefully I will be heading home tomorrow. I pray that all of you are recovering nicely.

Wow!!.. Awesome.. I keep thinking I'm going through this and I'll be the one person who doesn't lose weight.

Aww don't say that! If you follow the diet of not eating there is no way you can't lose weight!! Sending you positive thoughts!
