Hospital Weight Gain

[limase63 39]

Hi all,

Did anyone else gain a lot of weight during their hospital stay. I know it's probably Fluid from iv's but I gained 8 pounds.

Most people do. I gained 9 pounds. It came off in four days. It's the IVs.

LOL, I gained 13! It is 100% normal and will resolve quickly.

Congratulations!

I stepped on the scale when I got home, so excited to see how much I'd lost in the hospital annnnnd bubble popped! I "weighed" more than I did pre-surgery! Heck, even at my one week post op appointment, I was right back at my weight when I went in. But very, very shortly thereafter, the number started dropping rapidly. Phew! I'm 6 weeks out today and down almost 30 pounds from my surgery weight. So don't panic! It's all the fluids, plus your body underwent a lot of trauma. It'll start coming off. It has slowed down quite a bit from the original rate, but slow and steady wins the race. Keep your head up and good luck!

Yeah, I had lost 13 pounds on the 3 day liquid diet prior to my surgery so I freaked out a bit when I came home after surgery to have gained all of it back. But as others said, it disappeared rather quickly, re: I peed a lot those 24 hours after coming home!

So you only had a 3 day pre op prep? This is crazy that difference in drs. Im required to do a 14day liquid diet

I gained 5 lbs while I was there. I've pretty much lost that 5 lbs already. Actually I'm 8 days post op and lost 15 lbs.
