I'm three days out and the next time I will be weighed will be at my two week post op appointment. I'm just going to keep doing all the things I was told, hard as that is, getting enough fluids and Protein is a real challenge

Albertamom- take a deep breath, follow your liquid diet & stay off the scale for a week or so. Remember, you were hooked up to an IV, you stated you were on your period & you're body is recovering from surgery. Everything will be ok! My thoughts & prayers are with you. You WILL start seeing the numbers drop, give it time :)

Water in...water out. Try to get in as much Fluid as possible to help flush that hidden water out. It's a matter of shifting the water (IV fluids) from your tissues to your circulatory system. Keeping well-hydrated will do that. Keep drinking!

My surgery date was 25 Feb. I weigh exactly the same as I did the day I got home (205). Lost 10 lbs pre-op. Reading these posts has made me feel better. I was weighing each morning and evening. The scale is going away for a while for sure!

Ditto this. Very important to keep putting in as much water as you can stand past your 64oz. It's been my personal experience even before the surgery that simply drinking enough can be the key to losing or not. Your body is inflamed and bloated in a few places from the surgery and then the period. Water water water. Drink it.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
