Im 4 weeks post op and had a 12 day stall. Dr and Nut said its very normal to come to a stall. Your body is just trying to catch up, its on shock mode right now.

Hey there! I am 5 days post op and I am not sure if I am getting all my Water, and this Protein is difficult. But it is a process, so we take it day by day. The gas is bad, but we walk! I think I am drinking too fast, but I am working on it. Everyone keep your head up and your liquids down! XXOO!

beldary reacted to tekjr1 in Day 2 Post Op, Any Hunger?
I'm two days post op and came from the hospital yesterday. I'm on week one clear liquids. By constantly sipping all day, I have gotten 50 oz of fluids. I also noticed some hunger pains that were easily curbed with a little sf Jello. Is this about right? Is it normal to have some appetite so soon?
It seems I tolerated the fluids and the Jello without any trouble. Thanks for input from those that have been there.

Yup, what everyone has said here. I left the hospital up 8 lbs from when I went in, those IV fluids had me bloated like a stuffed sausage. It'll come off (and then some) before you know it.
Best of luck to you!

beldary reacted to odesa in Sleeved on April 1 and gained weight
Hi Beldary,
Well I can't speak for anyone else but the day after my surgery I thought I was going to need some Oompa Loompas to take me to the Juicing Room and roll me around to get rid of the bloating I had. My doctor told me that they were pumping me full of fluids via my IV and that it is normal to gain weight right after the operation. I didn't weigh myself until day 12 when I had my normal follow up appointment and by then the bloating and Water weight was gone. I actually think it was gone by around day 3 or 4. Also it was hard at first to even get my 60 oz of fluids in so I think you'll find that you will lose all that Water weight soon enough.
Remember look at this longer term as in at least weeks and months not days or even hours. Also good luck to you on your journey and recovery!

beldary reacted to The Laughing Cat in Sleeved on April 1 and gained weight
I gained seven pounds from immediate pre-surgery weigh-in to my first morning at home two days later. It was a little alarming until I remembered the IV bags and such. Now at seven days out it's all gone and more. Beldary, the best is quickly on its way to you. My challenge now is getting in more walking. I'm just a few days ahead of you and each day something has changed and luckily each have been good.
My best wishes for journey
