Remember your swollen from the surgery and the gas that they have put in your body in order to inflate your stomach so that could be a reason you shouldn't be on the scale just of yet at least wait until a week has passed of you on your liquids after post. The swelling will have this decreased so then we may have a more accurate number

I went in the hospital 294. Came out 306. And of course the first thing I did when I got home was step on the scale. Then I proceeded to drop 15 lbs in 3 days. You really get pumped full of fluids in the hospital. Don't fret!

IV fluids! It gets better. Hang in there ????

Absolutely this happened to me! I was so bummed. My surgery was on the 30th and I came home from the hospital 8 pounds heavier than when I went in. It is all of the IV fluids that they pump in you. When I got home I dropped that and then some. I am 1 week and 2 days post op and have lost 20 pounds total to date. So don't fret, I did and it was nothing to fret over.

I just got home as well this week .. Feeling bloated and sore.. My stomach is making some crazy sounds.. Has this happened to anyone else?

[mechidallas 1]

Yes I'm officially a week and one day postop and yes my stomach makes weird noises I'm hoping that goes away as well

[Agreen0707 5]

Good .. I am not the only one... Was worried I would have to deal with this for the rest of my life!!

You'd be surprised actually. I'm 15 days out. Gained 9 pounds I'm the hospital but lost it all. I have the sounds in my stomach as well. I call it my gurgly stummy. My mom and sister are both 3 years out. They still have their gurgly stummies. The three of us together make quite a bit of noise at a meal!

I had the same question. I am 3 days postop and my stomach makes the craziest sounds besides growling all day long. I am having a hard time taking deep breaths. It hurts a lot. I use my spirometer ever 2-3 hours. And when I cough I feel like my insides are coming out...ouch. I was hoping to return to work next Monday but honestly I don't think I'm going to feel up to it yet.... I am a custodian. Thank God I only gained 3lbs in the hospital and have already lost it.

I had this with the lungs. I could not take a deep breath at all. It felt like I had bronchitis or something. And it took me forever to walk a block from the hospital to the bus stop with my husband right after I got discharged. I was basically okay after a week. Just keep using your breathing thingy and walking and it will go away!
