Cmstewart 7 Posted May 21, 2014 I weighed on my one week post opt day and had gained 4 pounds. I have had nothing but liquids, I believe it may have been because I had not had a bowl movent after surgery, I have now, will weigh at surgens on Friday. I am expecting some loss.

LivingFree! 478 Posted May 22, 2014 Congratulation on your surgery! No worries. All normal. Weight gain immediately after surgery happens--lots of excess fluids are in your body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted May 22, 2014 Get used to this. The weight will come off but not magically. But I can vouch from month to month you will lose. Do not let the scale consume you! Keep busy, stay on your plan, and voila!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted May 22, 2014 They gave you IV fluids in the hospital, so the weight you gained is from those fluids. It happens to everyone. My advice is to only weigh at the doctor, no more than once a week. You'll be a much happier camper that way. Too many people allow the scale to dictate how they are feeling. Good luck and breathe. You won't fail this time! 2 Kindle and joyann45 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
