I'm Confused?

I just had lap band surgery on Wednesday. The week before i was on liquids and blended Soups and veggies. They weighed me in at the hospital I had lost a little over a pound the week before and then a day after surgery it says I gained 3#'s. What is going on? That seems strange considering all I had at hospital was ice and IV Fluids and then yesterday I only had OJ in a small cup, ice cubes and a fudgecicle no sugar added and only 45 calories and a little bottle of Water.< /p>

Has this happened to anyone after surgery and could it have to do with the bloating since surgery?

Its not unusual to not lose weight after surgery everything slows down including your metabolism, u tend to retain some fluids from the iv and ofc bloating. I have had IBS for a long time and i know when i am bloated i lose no weight at all .. to be honest it drives me nuts.

Since you were banded not long ago I would not worry about the scale. Your body is in flux (as I like to call it) due to the surgery and post-op diet. All kinds of goffy things are going to happen until you are back to normal. Take this time to heal, start off some easy exercise, and get ready for a lifetime of change. The scale will start to move soon enough.

FLUID! Give yourself about a week of scale free time. Follow the docs instructions and all will be fine. Your body is reacting to being cut and a forgein object inserted.

With swelling is Fluid retention it will go away in few days
