Weight gain after surgery

[k3nnabear 17]

It is the weirdest thing going in for my surgery and I am 208#. This is on September 26th Then when I leave 4 days later I am at 221.9#. I am going to assume that this is Water weight as per I've been on liquid diet is anyone else leaving surgery had an influx in weight gain due to holding in water or Fluid retention?? I feel bloated I have been passing gas I have been walking. Drinking tons of water but I guess I will go see when I meet with my surgeon tomorrow any thoughts on this. I am following the diet so it is just weird to me!!! I don't want to freak out!

I haven't had the surgery yet but from reading yes, people gain Water wait initially then lose it like the next week

I gain 10lbs just from the i.v fluids alone!!! My surgery weight was 228, my post-op weight (just a few hours later) on the same scale was 238!!!

So don't worry so much about fluids...they can come and go a lot through the course of a day.

I weighed in surgery day at 206 i think and I left weighing 219. I thought "what the heck did I do?" But thanks to the knowledgeable people here I realized that was Water weight and GAS omg the GAS! I lost it within 10 days or so though. Hang in there!!

I also gained weight for a few days after surgery but after the 1st week it poured off. Just trust it worked and stay hydrated!

Thank all of you so much you make me feel so much better!! I just weighed in at my docs office and I was 218. Which is still ten pounds up from surgery but with your guys advice I am no longer so.....worried. I am going to go over my Vitamins and things I'm suppose to take while I am with him today. I take medication daily and I have not taken any pills by mouth since the day before because I am scarred to crush them it makes me really uneasy anyone else have this problem?
