Well, I had my surgery yesterday and all in all I feel pretty good. I am getting the gas pains but I'm walking around as much as I can manage. I am disappointed I shouldn't have weighed myself but I did this morning and the scale says I have gained back the 12 I lost on the pre-op diet. My mom says not worry, that its just the gas and water weight and will disappear. Does anyone know if this is true?

 

I'm just taking it easy, reading up on some books and watching movies and adding couple of walks around the block. I'm very excited to see where the next few weeks take me!

Thanks, for the information. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing the gain after the surgery. I"m going to try not weighing myself or a while or I'm likely to drive myself nuts!

I had the same thing happen to me right after surgery. I was up 6 lbs. I flipped out...I thought.....how is that even possible when I am not even eating anything. I finally had to realize that my body needed a few weeks to recover from the surgery. The weight will drop off. Just give your body a chance to heal. (smile)
