How much fluid weight did you gain while in hospital?



Recommended Posts

So I seem to be holding about 15lbs of Fluid. I came in on Monday at 376, and this afternoon hopped on a scale that said 392. I'm curious what the range has been for others. Not complaining at all, since I know it will "pass" lol.

Hey 1 week to lose 16lbs of Fluid weight isn't too bad. I bet you're feeling better and better as it goes?

I do feel better but I am Soooo thirsty. I can barely move, but that's an increase from being completely unable to move.

I gained 14 in the hospital, I lost it within the week. The more you move, the faster it goes away...

I gained 12. A week after surgery it was gone and I was back to what I weighed day of surgery. :-)

I'd read about weight gain from IV fluids here so I wasn't surprised. Disappointed, but not surprised. Lol

It goes away quickly and then the REAL weight loss starts! :-)

I gained 21lbs in 2 days at the hospital. Now after 2 days at home I have lost 14lbs. Maybe next week I'll start getting some actual weight loss. w00t w00t!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
