mechidallas 1 Posted October 9, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forsythia 882 Posted October 9, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auntiemel 275 Posted October 9, 2014 IV fluids! It gets better. Hang in there ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3Pugaliers 30 Posted October 9, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danie1114 27 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) 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!

Meli65 8 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
