This is typical, I had mine on 7/26 and for the first 2 weeks I felt no progress until I got on the scale, now 2 days it will be 1 month and I'm down a total of 46 pounds...it will come off as long as you're getting your Protein and fluids in..the bloating will eventually subside as well.

glad to see this question! I'm 6 days post-op and my numbers don't seem to have dropped a bit. I feel bloated and overly full and I'm just hanging on - hoping the feel lighter and see the numbers go down on the scale.< /p>

I gained 6 lbs when weighed the following day but didn't freak as I had read it here. It was gone within a couple of days.

No need to freak, it happens to everyone following surgery. I gained back the 13lbs that I lost on the liquid diet. LOL.
You have to take that into account.....fluids.

I just had the bypass surgery on Monday was discharged yesterday while walking today I stopped at the scale bc I was curious obviously, but I am 5 lbs more than when they weighed me before taking me in to surgery! Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be worried? I also have a low grade fever the nurses didn't think it was anything to worry about. Looking for feedback from anyone who has had the surgery. I wish the nurses were more knowledgeable where I was, my dr was great but they just started doing the gastric bypass at this particular hospital and the nurses did not know much about the proceedure, one even tried giving me a can of ginger ale to help calm my belly. I told her it's a good thing I did alot of research before hand or her giving me that could of caused big problems. I told her the dr had an order in for meds for nausea she was like "oh ok I'll get that from the pharmacy but in the meantime the ginger ale should help" I kept my cool but my husband was furious and let them all know it.. anyway off topic, weight gain after surgery anyone?

it happens to most of us - it's just all the IV fluids they pumped into you. Should be gone in a couple of days

I also had RNY (7/27) and gained 9 pounds before leaving the hospital. The good news is within the first week I lost that 9 and another 2. Best of luck - welcome to the losers bench !!!

I don't use the Patches but I had to reach out and say you look fantastic! Congratulations!

we all read about people who lose 30 lbs the first month, but that's definitely at the very high end of the range. Some people only lose 10 or 12. My take-away from being on this and other boards for the last 2-3 years is that most people lose in the 15-25 lb range the first month.
Fifteen pounds in three weeks is great. I lost 16 lbs the whole first month, and I'm down a total of 200 lbs. If you follow your plan, you'll lose the weight. We all lose at different rates because there are so many factors that can affect it, but you'll reach your goal if you stick to your plan.

I am on day two! And I fee like I got punched n the belly a thousand times lolll so glad I did it and that in a few months I'll have much much energy:) :)
