It's temporary weight gain from swelling and all of the fluids they gave you. If it makes you feel any better, I gained 14 lbs in the hospital! My RD said that some patients gain even more. Try not to weigh for at least another week and drink as much as you can. You will be rewarded! Sorry that you are missing out on strawberry season, but think of all of the things that you missed out on bc of your weight that you won't be missing out on anymore. Stay strong! Hope you feel better soon.

I will be 3 weeks out tomorrow and haven't lost anything in the past week. I have only lost 10 lbs total. I don't know what to do. I can barely get my Protein in and have a difficult time with food.< /p>

I am 6 days out and up to my pre-op weight! I can see that my feet and legs are totally swollen up with fluids. I am looking at it like it is banked weight loss that I will see when my system get back to normal. The best thing is that I am so not hungry! So relax and be patient...think about how happy you will be when your system starts behaving itself! :D

Ditto what everyone else said...give your body time to heal. I only lost a pound the first week, 3 the second week, but after 6 weeks I'm down 46 lbs.

It'll happen, just give it time and follow doctor's orders.

I was sleeved the 10th, I'm not losing anything either. It will take time. I lost a lot the first week, I figure my body just needs time to catch up. <Shrugs>

Agree. I also came out of the hospital with significant weight gain. Up about 20 lb. it took a couple weeks to lose the Water weight and then it started to go negative.

I'll see your two pounds and raise you the six I gained overnight in the hospital! :P

A week later, it came off taking some with it! :D

Relax, the weight will come off for you too soon.

Your body is in shock you just had major surgery. You are also no doubt retaining Water from IV fluids,meds etc. I did not see any loss on my scale for 11 days after surgery and like you I gained a couple pounds initially.It will start coming off once your body normalizes.No worries :)

Well that just SUCKS! You would think being on straight liquids getting less than 400 calories a day, one would lose weight!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
