Is it normal tp drop 9 lbs just 3 days post surgery?

Yes.. I lost 22 in 7 days

I think it is pretty normal because you ore some type of liquid diet and your body is getting rid of the excess water. I had my surgery yesterday and weighed myself this morning and had lost 3lbs. since yesterday morn. I am possitive it is excess water. It is exciting to see the numbers go down!!!

I gained a couple lbs due to all the iv fluids....ive lost that and 9lbs

I am two days post op and gained 9 pounds since surgery.... have dropped 4 pounds this morning. I was soooo discouraged when I got on the scale after I got home last night. I didn't think I got that much fluid but we will see how it looks tomorrow. I drank almost nothing yesterday and today I have had two tablespoons of yogurt and about 1/2 cup of protein drink.

Oh it will go down...when i saw i hained two and hadnt eaten anything....now im down 10lbs

Good to hear, I'm two days out and just saw a drop last night. Yesterday morning I was up 2 lbs but figure it was from iv fluids. now to keep hydrated! So come on weight loss! Good luck to everyone else!!! Its going to get exciting now!

I had surgery on Tuesday and I haven't weighed myself since last Sunday. I think constantly worrying about weight causes so much stress. I'm just going to follow the post lap band rules and watch as my pants get baggier!

Thanks for the encouragement. I am used to weighing myself every morning so will keep track. I am hoping to see another drop tomorrow.
