You should call your surgeon's office about the swelling and pain in your incision. They'll tell you to come in (or go to urgent care) if it sounds serious.

A lot of people gain weight in the hospital. It's just because they pump you full of IV fluids. Don't worry; it will come off quickly.

I weighed 10 lbs more when I got home from the hospital 2 days after surgery! But by 1 week post-op, I had lost that plus another 8 lbs! Be sure to drink your fluids and it will come off, I promise.

I echo Sue about the pain - call your surgeon.

Thanks Crick

i went back to the doctor to day

i actually have a haemotoma / infection at the wound site ant they started me on antibiotics

i am still the same weight tho , doctor says not to worry about it but it is a bit disheartning

am drinking 2 litres of Water a day and a good Protein intake

calorie intake is about 600 daily so cannot understand how im staying the same weight

it is now 8 days since my surgery

Things can only get better🤞🙏😂😂

will keep you posted appreciate the feedback

well done on your brilliant weight loss

it gives me hope
