Did anyone gain a few pounds initially right after surgery? When I went in the hospital on Monday I was 256 and today I weigh 261.

yes i did gain.. it is water weight from the iv.. it will come off!!!

Yes I did and it made me very frustrated! But once I realized why, iv and fluids, I guess it was a little better.

Thanks guys!

I gained weight too. I gained like 6 pounds, but today I dropped two of the six. I just had surgery 6/10/13. I am hoping by the end of this week, I will be lower than I was prior to surgery.

I gained 8 pounds and was very unhappy about it. But I lost that plus 5 more after about 2 weeks. I think it is all water weight.

I gained over 20 in the hospital!

Ha Christine, Finally someone has gained more than me in the hospital! I gained 16 lbs. Pretty sure they didn't want to see me for dehydration in the first few days :-)

LOL When they read my weight I almost fell over. I knew I would gain some but I had no idea it would be that much!

No worries. Very soon your body will begin its own cleanse from the anesthesia, IV fluid and all liquid diet. So be prepared. Your body will most certainly take care of it all on its own

Yep, I gained around 6 pounds. But today I got on the scale and realized I have lost those 6 pounds, and an extra two! Feels great! I was banded 6/10/13 so I am only a couple of days out so far. It will come off sooner than you think!
