1 Day Postop - Weight Gain



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve done yesterday, 4/4/16. Before I left my house, I weighed 234 lbs. Just got home today and I now weigh 242 lbs. Is this normal? Is it Water weight?! Kinda freaked out at the moment!

Absolutely...

You'll be pumped full of fluids as well as swollen up from the surgery...

I'd be not worrying about checking your weight for a while yet..

And also - relax....

The weight will come off...

Really it will....

Stop worrying and put away the scale. I mean it.

I came home more than nine lbs heavier than preop after a readmission where I was eating NOTHING for five days, only getting IV fluids. Do I need to tell you how fast that all reversed itself?

Your body has one job in the immeidate postop period: to heal from surgery. Period. Weight loss happens secondary to healing. That's the way it is, the way it was meant to be. Take care of yourself, follow your postop instructions, and call your surgeon if you have problems or questions.

By the way, surgery went well. First two hours were rough but I got up and got moving. It really paid off. I was doing laps by the third hour and walking every two hours. No nausea whatsoever. Also found Atkins Lift Protein drink at Wal-Mart. Water with 20g of protein!

It is very normal.. they pumped you full of Fluid, and you are (most likely) on painkillers.. Once you stop those, and your bowel gets moving again, you will start dropping.

I bet it's from the 35,000 calories they force-fed you while under anesthesia....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
