Janine 0 Posted September 18, 2008 If you guys are anything like me I live on that damn scale. But just a reminder you will gain about 5 lbs from the IV Fluid so don't get upset. It is amazing how it drops off. I went to the hospital at 244.5 came home at 250.6 and 1 1/2 days out I am back down to 245. it's crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

incipientesquire 0 Posted September 20, 2008 I might actually hide my scale in the closet for the week, because the temptation to get on and find out how I'm doing (especially b/c I'm losing a lot in the beginning) is just driving me batty ... at well.

heartfire 4 Posted September 20, 2008 I gained 7lbs the day of surgery! Took me a week and a half to get rid of it. I retain Water like crazy. If I don't drink enough, I bloat. And there was no way I was drinking enough the first couple of weeks after surgery. Don't get discouraged! It will come off again, just may take time. Even at a few weeks out, if I don't drink most of my 64oz of Water, I show a gain the next AM! It's nuts!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
