weight gain

[letsgetshrunk 9]

Hello I am five days out from gastric by pass surgery and went in at 249 and after surgery I was up to 267. I am now back down to 259. It takes me four hours to get down a Protein Shake at a time and I sip juice other wise. Anyone know if this is just Fluid weight from the surgery and if so how long before I am at least where I started.

Signed,

Frustrated

I gained 5 lbs while in the hospital for surgery and ended up going back 2 weeks later with dehydration and gained 8..

When I were in the hospital, I had an I.V. pumping fluids into me during my stay. I gained weight but when I returned home, I shed that (fluid) weight relatively quickly and then began losing significant weight.

Sounds like Fluid retention to me. The faster you can get your fluids in and as close to 64 oz the better. I found warming my Water and shakes worked best in the early days. juice is generally high in sugar so if there are othe fluids you'll tolerate they would be better.

It's Fluid. Same thing happened to me.
