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!

      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.
