I gained 8 pounds from surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm sure it is just Fluid and bloating...But I had my surgery on 1/14/08 at 216 (down 12 pounds from pre-op diet) and when I came home from the hospital I was back up at 224. And today only one day later I'm down to 222...But I haven't had anything but clear low calorie liquids for 3 days now...Per Dr.'s orders I can start protien drinks and full liquid diet tomorrow (3 days post op) I'm honestly not worried about the scale weight, but I'm just curious if anyome else has noticed such a significant gain from surgery and IV fluids ect???

I had to go back to the hospital 1 day after my release, 2 days after the surgery and gained too. I was back to my surgery weight by day 7.

I'm not a January bandster but I wanted to let you know that I had my daughter via cesarean and then didn't lose any weight for TWO WEEKS. I was still at the weight before I checked into the hospital. I retained a ton of Water and Fluid. After those first couple weeks I dropped like crazy. I think some of us are just more prone to retaining weight after surgery.
