How can I be stalled at 10 days post surgery

My surgeon said to "don't bother weighing yourself for a month as it will fluctuate and you will get discouraged, focus on healing"

Remember all the Fluid and air they pumped you with. Your body think its starving right now so it needs to re-calibrate. I am 5 days post op and have only weighed myself once because I was up 5 pounds from surgery date because they pumped me with extra fluids because I was dehydrated. I can also tell I am still swollen. My advice would be to stop weighing yourself everyday. Weight fluctuates throughout the SAME day, you are going to make yourself crazy. Good luck!

Before I left the hospital I asked my surgeon "so how soon should it be before I weigh myself" he looked at me and said with a very serious tone "2 years, don't even think about the weight I want you think about getting you healthy, weighing can be counter productive and undo all the good that we are working on here".

Of course my reply was "well you now I am going to weigh myself"

But he is right we went into this with the ultimate goal to lose weight but why because we wanted to be healthy, we wanted to be around for our kids, to have kids, to fall in love to move from the bad and to be fit to run marathons or just walk to the mailbox with out needing an oxygen tank and a knee replacement.

Your weight loss is amazing at this very early stage, stop discounting it and think "hey before the surgery losing this amount of weight in this amount of time was impossible and now look at me go".
