kmiller 146 Posted March 24, 2013 I should know this, but can't remember. I had an open hernia repair last Wednesday. The day before surgery I weighed 201. Today I weighed 210. There is NO WAY I could have gained. I'm eating a lot less post surgery. Grant it, I'm not moving much, but this is depressing. This was my second open surgery since February 5 of this year. This is beginning to take a mental and physical toll on this old gal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kristy3k 1,133 Posted March 24, 2013 Hey girl. I had an ablasion done in January and gained 9 lbs in the hospital. Its the iv Fluid. Dont panic... I know easier said then done... It takes about 5 days to work its way thru. Just keep staying the course. Hope you are feeling well since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwiladydee 402 Posted March 24, 2013 It's common to gain after surgery. Don't panic - it's fluids from iv etc. I gained about 6 to 8 pounds when I went home. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
