So when i checked in day of surgery,3 days ago, i weighed 245. When i left the hospital today i weighed 251...gained weight from iv fluid i guess...I'm discouraged because I'm reading other peoples posts who have already lost 10+ pounds just a few days post op....im heavier than when i went in! Anyone else go through this and how long did it take you to start seeing real results?

Don't worry, most of us come home heavier. You are right it's because of the IV fluids and our body's just went through major trauma! I mean when I came home my stomach was HUGE!

I didn't start weighing myself until about a week and a half out. Be patient and kind to yourself right now!

Take care,

Laura

Did you eat the nurse? One unlucky nurse walked next to me and she lost her hand ala Hannibal style. But remember you were pumped with liquid and some ppl hold water more then others. It'll go down super fast! Trust me!

I'm told to drink a lot of water and keep walking around. That IV fluid weight will go away quick. Good luck!

I ain't no Ritchie to be affording no wine and bean burritos.

I gained ten from surgery. All fluid. I am 14 days and down 14. The ten came off in like 3 days then lost the 14

Thanks guess I'm just anxious to get this going:)
