Weight stall after hospital stay

[gustavio 439]

So I lost 15 lbs week one but ended up in the hospital for dehydration. I got many liters of fluids so I knew I would come out weighing more. (Water weight) however, I've been out of the hospital for 3 days now and still haven't dropped a pound!!! Anyone else stop losing week 2? I know it's only been 3 days but I'm getting discouraged because of how fast it was coming off right after surgery.

I'm sure you are still retaining fluids. It will take some time. Just be sure to keep drinking.

Thanks Hun, a little reassurance goes a long way

I would think a lot of that 15 lbs was Water weight so now it has been replaced. Give your body time to heal and adjust. Follow your plan and don't rush yourself mentally. Your body is going to do what it needs to.

I was admitted to the hospital a week after surgery and they pumped me so much of fluids I had an extra 8 liters of Fluid. It took about a week to get rid of it. Just keep walking to get the Fluid moving.

Stay off the scale for a while. Especially if it upsets you. I put mine in the closet and now take it out once a week

I'm 4 weeks post op and I've stalled since I started eating meat only chicken and fish. Although I'm slightly constipated and dehydrated I've gained 2 lbs.

The gain is most likely from Constipation and dehydration (which is probably why you are constipated). You really need to meet your Fluid goals.

I had my sleeve Friday and this morning I got on the scale for the 1st time it said 193.2 the day of surgery it was 189? You would think it would be the opposite.

That's extremely common. You are pumped with tons of fluids, you're swollen and are recovering from a major surgery. It's not at all unusual to gain weight after surgery. You need to stick with your plan and don't weigh yourself.

Thanks! @@KristenLe I'm anxious for this weight to fall off.
