Briswife15 890 Posted April 6, 2019 I gained 10 pounds of Water weight in the hospital. It goes away pretty quickly, and you will soon start seeing weight loss. Good luck!!Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Aprilgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GradyCat 3,695 Posted April 6, 2019 Don't panic, it's not real weight gain. You just had major surgery. It's fluids and swelling and stuff. Quit weighing yourself for a while. This too shall pass. 2 TracyS and Aprilgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
