Weight gain post-op

[LilBoo007 491]

OMG !!!!! So I had my gastric bypass last Wednesday the 13th, they released me from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Well, I knew I gained some weight because I look like the an over filled sausage !!! They told me it was due to all the fluids they have me in my IV .... Well I hopped on the scale and I almost had a heart attack... I'm 20 lbs heavier then when I had my surgery !!! Is this normal ??? If so does it go away quickly??? I'm freaking out here!

Don't worry you will lose it within a week

It's normal it's from surgery your IV you will be ok

Good luck

Thanks everyone !! I was really worried! Other than that, I'm getting better with less pain every day! It might also be because I still have not farted ever!!! My dr. Said it was ok and finally last night I had a bm!!! I was so happy!!! But I do burp every time I drink something
