star21nd 34 Posted June 25, 2014 Did anyone gain a lot of weight in the hospital from all the fluids? I was only in hospital 1 day and when I came home and weighted myself I was 10 lbs heavier. Now 1 week post op I finally lost those 10 lbs and only 3 extra... does this mean im going to be a slow loser Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mwestcons 9 Posted June 25, 2014 Hey, I'm 1 week post-op too and they warned me at the hospital that I would gain weight since they were pushing fluids big-time. That was good - kept me hydrated through the long wait until they finished the fluoroscopy and let me drink again! It looks like I am about 12 lbs down since I started the pre-operative diet. Try not to obsess about your weight - concentrate on following the diet and the weight will come off inevitably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tnpeach 41 Posted June 25, 2014 Same here. I am going to start my weight on the day of surgery. I also gained 10 or 11 lbs when I got home from the hospital. It is too early to say if we will be a fast or slow loser. I just want to be a loser........... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dlf23 9 Posted June 25, 2014 Same here. One week after surgery, I was up one pound. It got better the second week, but stalled on eek three. Now five weeks out I'm down 16 pounds, which is okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
