Ssze1109 163 Posted November 20, 2016 Yes. I was 12 lbs up too the day after. It goes down. Give yourself some time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggiemae 739 Posted November 21, 2016 It's normal, wait a week before you weigh again. I know it's dissapointing because I'm in hospital and up 11 pounds due to IV fluids (and maybe the 100mg of prednisone). I know I'm not gaining fat on less than 600 calories a day but it's still frustrating. I keep reminding myself that I didn't gain this 100 pounds in a week!

gr8mom0106 10 Posted November 21, 2016 I was sleeved the 18th and I weighed much heavier too. The nurses and dr said it's from the IV fluids , meds and gas they pump you up with . I knew it had to be that because my pj pants always for great then when I changed into those they were so tight around the waist I couldn't keep them on . I was told to keep moving around which helps release air too . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerseygirl10 9 Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks all !! You rock!! My post op appointment is tomorrow (Tuesday). Not sure but I THINK I'll be allowed to advance to full liquids. Another question for you all.... a horrible awful pain about 2-3 inches to the right of the belly button. Not an incision and not the place of the drain. Anyone else have that pain in that place ?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App That's were they pulled out your stomach. Mine hurt so much I couldn't roll over or sit up in bed! I used a tight shaper tank top to put pressure on my abdomen and it helped immediately. I wore it for a little over a week. Mine was from "GENIE" I already had it. Spanks makes them and they sell larger sizes at lane Bryant. If you still have the drain just tuck it under the tank top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ssze1109 163 Posted November 22, 2016 Yes I had pain on right side too. Had to hold my right side when moving or walking. I bought an abdominal binder at Walmart in the sports section plus size for $5.00. It helped! I am 13 days out and I can move so much better. No pain with walking anymore.
