Weight gain in hospital post op

[HappilyEverAfter44 40]

I gained 9 lbs since I had my GBP yesterday. Has this happened to anyone else?

Also, neck, thighs and calves all hurt.

Thanks

It is very common. We are filled with IV fluids and experience swelling from the surgery. The best advice I can give you is to stay off the scale, and focus on getting in all of your water/fluids and Protein.

As to the pain in your neck, thighs, and calves, you may want to ask your surgeon's office. It may have something to do with the position you were in during surgery.

Yes I was 399 day of surgery, 414 when I was discharged, I'm a week out and already at 395. It's all the IV Fluid.

It's very common. Do yourself a favor and stay off the scales for a couple of weeks because it may take awhile to get back to where you started. You just had surgery and that comes with IV fluids and swelling so don't torture yourself.

I had my RNY 3/25. I gained 7lbs while I was at the hospital kinda freaked me out a bit but both my boyfriend and sister who worked in the medical field eased my worries and told me it was completely normal. Happy to say I'm down 8lbs from the day of surgery so I've lost the 7lbs gained as well.
