NurseMichael 142 Posted June 25, 2019 Congrats and welcome to the club. Dont worry about the weight gain. You are filled with IV fluids from surgery. Everyone has a little gain in the first few days post op. Also, i was in the hospital 3 days and 2 nights (standard for my surgeons practice) so just enjoy the time that other people are paid to take care of you. Again, congrats! 3 Wanda247, KarenLR75 and Chardonnay40 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KarenLR75 516 Posted June 25, 2019 Congrats! I'm having mine on 7/1. Now that I know they may weigh you before you are leaving, I'm going to close my eyes..I don't want to know. Each time I've been in the hospital, if I'm on an IV, I swell up like a balloon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

np101 20 Posted June 26, 2019 I got to come home today I ate 6 oz of broth before i left hospital. Working toward liquid and Protein goal today. I took a little nap, but am gonna polish this 20oz water bottle in about an hour. Too fast? 64oz of fluids and 60g of protein seems like a hefty goal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
