Weight gain post-op

[Mookiemen 2]

Had my surgery 3/17 (4 days) got on the scale and gained weight. Is this common? Is it possible I've only had liquids?

I had mine on 19th. I was told it was pretty common and usually due to all the IV fluids you get during surgery and day(s) after...

I'm sure you will be losing lbs and inches in no time at all!

Totally to be expected. I stayed away from the scale for the first 2 weeks because I didn't want to get disappointed. You'll start dropping once the Water weight is eliminated. Best thing you can do is keep working on your fluids.
