angies 1 Posted October 21, 2013 I am 17 days post op and gained 2lbs today. My starting weight was 269. I was 259 when I came home from the hospital. I was losing pretty well, yesterday I was 242.5 and today I went back up to 244. I was and am devastated. I am still on the 4 weeks of liquids post op. The only thing that I have added is grits.

Macy6 356 Posted October 21, 2013 I bounce. I have since surgery. Lose 2, gain .5, lose 4, gain 2. It is one of the reasons I now only weigh once a week. I have never weighed a Monday to Monday and gained. It could be you need to have a bowel movement, you could be retaining some water.... Don't worry, No devastation.... It will all even out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nsquared 232 Posted October 21, 2013 It is way too early to freak. You had surgery a little over two months ago and it is unlikely you can eat anything in any quantity that will cause a permanent gain right now. Your weight fluctuates daily due to Water, sodium, bloating, any number of things. Just stay on your program and all will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
