No weight loss 5 days posts op

I just weighed myself today and I have not lost anything. I worried could I be doing something wrong. Any advice?

They say we can gain from all the iv fluids. What do you think you could be doing wrong at this stage? Just come as close to meeting your Fluid and Protein goals as you can, that's really all we can do right now huggs

You are not doing anything wrong, it's completely normal! They pumped your abdomen full of gas for the surgery and you most likely had an IV. It will take a little time for that to go away. And depending on your weight lost prior to surgery, your body could be holding onto all calories. Be patient, the scale will move! Best of luck to you!

Thanks you put my mind at ease.

I went through the same thing. Week 2 PO I had my very first stall. I think I lost less than 1 pound that week. Just keep doing what your suppose to do and it will come off.

Congratulations on your surgery and keep working your plan.

Well, first question is, when was your surgery? It may take about a week or so post op for some people to lose weight due to the gas retention.

When was your surgery? Have you been losing weight previously? Is this the first day you didn't lose weight? Is this a long term thing, like have you lost no weight in months? Too many unknowns to offer any suggestions or advice.

Don't worry, you cant be doing anything wrong. I actually came home from the hospital 7lbs heavier than when I went in. It will disappear. Good luck
