    They pumped 10-12 pounds of IV fluid in me while I was in the hospital. It took me more than a week to just get back to the weight that I was when I went in. I also had the three week stall and IVs 6

There are a lot of factors that go into us losing. Your body could be hanging on to some surgical gas still and is probably still somewhat swollen from surgery. Just keep following your diet plan and things will happen soon! Everyone loses at different rates.

My Dr says that they pump about 10lbs of fluid into you and you hang onto it for at least a week so don't feel discouraged. I don't expect my weight to come off quickly, its no different than a regular diet other than the fact that I can't eat away my sorrows when that scale doesn't move. Eventually it will move as long as you stay on the plan.

Yup, was totally normal for me. I gained weight in the hospital after my surgery!!! It took me two weeks to lose what I gained just from having the surgery. You will be glad to have those fluids in your system though because I bet you are not drinking a ton yet. Hang in there. I felt the same exact way, but it will leave your body. You will lose. Just follow your doctors eating plan. Congrats on getting sleeved!

I actually gained the week after my surgery then I lost it again. I contributed it to the IV fluids and swelling due to the surgery. I wouldn't worry about it. It will come off again.

They pumped 10-12 pounds of IV fluid in me while I was in the hospital. It took me more than a week to just get back to the weight that I was when I went in. I also had the three week stall and IVs 6 more times, so my early weight loss was a constant roller coaster ride! You'll be fine, don't stress it. Don't want to lose those fluids too fast or you'll end up like me; with a needle in your arm every other day :o

I went to the hospital after my surgery & one of the nurses said that when out bodies go into shock it holds on to weight b/c it thinks its dieing! Be patient. You'll be clothes falling off thin soon!

Yes. Totally normal.
