when i got home from hospital yesterday, i weighed myself in the evening and the scale said i gained 12 pounds!!! i was freaking out especially when I've been on a liquid diet all week and at hospital all i drank was Water for 3 days!

I know JUST how you're feeling. When they weighed me the day before I left the hospital I had gained 10 lbs! I was distraught! But it came off quickly so I think it was fluids from both the surgery and the post-op IV. Congrats on making it through.

They pump you full of fluids during surgery— you’ll see that all fall off quickly! Glad you’re feeling beter

Hi Glam, liquids weigh 1kg/ ltr so the point put across my our fraternity is correct. IMHO where you weigh yourself can give different results. Best to weigh on hard level floors. Also your scales may be out too. Good luck and don't worry too much brave girl !
