I feel your pain.... I'm in a similar predicament. Surgery on 11/15, lost 17 lbs in less than two weeks, admitted into the hospital for a few days because I was dehydrated.... now because of the IV fluids I gained 10lbs ... now I'm day 25 out and still (STILL!) trying to lose those 10lbs. I want to cry from frustration. I didn't expect this at all. And I am so devastated because I was self-pay, worked my behind off to get here, and wanted this so bad only to find I have been running into roadblock after roadblock at every turn... I'm worried this won't work and honestly starting to lose hope. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Honestly as I read this I thought you were talking about my experience! I had surgery on 11/15, and I'm too at a stall for weeks now.. it's really depressing because I didn't imagine this part of the journey so soon after surgery. I always thought I'd hit a stall way later on in my journey. Also, around week 2.5 post op, I had to rushed to the ER and admitted for 5 days because I was severely dehydrated, couldn't swallow anything... not even pain meds. I went from 288 to 271 and when I was discharged I gained a whopping 10lbs in the hospital! Granted, I know it was all attributed to IV fluids. No I'm almost 4 weeks out and... I'm at 273... still trying to lose the 2lbs I lost right after surgery and I'm struggling with this stall/weight gain that's messing with my mind... Anyone out there experiencing the same?
