SunshineBaby 10 Posted January 29, 2021 I had VSG two days ago and I have put on 4 Pounds even though I am only drinking Water and Protein Shakes. Anyone else experience this right after surgery? 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaxyRoMom 6 Posted January 29, 2021 It's from the fluids they give you in the hospital babeSleeved: 1/23SW:273CW:263 (FOR NOW) 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else experience this right after surgery? It's actually a good thing! Means you're not completely dehydrated One of these days, you'll see a great loss. It may be a few days, though. Just go with the flow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted January 29, 2021 yep - the IV fluids. Some people gain as much as 10 lbs from it! Should be gone sometime within the first week. 1 SunshineBaby reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyMarie8288 29 Posted January 29, 2021 I had gained 6lbs in the hospital. I literally peed out 10lbs in the 24 hours after surgery. Sent from my Pixel 3a using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaoDaBeirut 158 Posted January 29, 2021 Just stay off the scale for a couple of weeks. Right after surgery your body is in recovery and there may be some crazy fluctuations. You will lose, don't worry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
