Just know that when we come home from the hospital, we have a lot more Fluid than normal, causing you to weigh more. Once the fluid comes off, you will start seeing the numbers drop. Your body is healing, give it time to do that. :-)

You more than likely still have a lot of Fluid retention from the IV. Dont panic you cant help but lose when you are not even eating. Just make sure to get as much Water in as possible, this will help flush everything out. You will start losing really soon.

I gained 10lbs of Fluid when I had surgery. They pump you up full of Fluid so you stay hydrated. I took me about a week for the fluid to dissipate Keep sipping that Water.

Had the same thing...don't worry about it, just Fluid from surgery. Hang in there, the first few days will be a distant memory!

After not losing for the first few days, I'm down 32 lbs. in 18 days. :)

      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.
