kimbermoses 5 Posted March 1, 2014 Had gastric bypass this Past Monday 2/24. Surgery went off without a hitch; was discharged home after 2 days. Clear liquid diet going well, but the scale isn't moving. Is it too soon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherryb 2 Posted March 1, 2014 Too soon, you probably have a lot of Water weight to get rid of from the fluids you received in the hospital. Congratulations this will be one of the best decisions you've made for your health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terry1118 1,274 Posted March 1, 2014 Definitely too soon! I gained 11 pounds from IV fluids given during my hospital stay. It took a full week just to gat back down the my pre-op weight. The second week was when the weight loss began. Follow your doctor's instructions, walk if you can, and sip, sip, sip! In the early weeks/months dehydration is a common avoidable problem. Be patient - you're on your way! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
