Hello & welcome you haven't list weight at all after gastric bypass?

I Went To My Post-Op Appt. And Ther Weight Was The Same. After The Drain Came Out August 2nd (I was in the hospital with this Last Surgery for 5 days) Had To Get A Hiatal Hernia Repair While He Was At It :-) So I Haven't Weighed In But I Hear That A ★New Scale★ Is Coming My Way ...A Gift From My Friend And Tremendous Stand By Me Man; Ken :-) And I Forgot To Mention I Am From The Atlantic Shore Of New Jersey. I Will Weigh In Soon...Hoping The New Scale That I Get Will Be That Magic One ! YOU KNOW THE ONE :-) TALK SOON THANKS★

I had the same issue. I had complications and gained 13 pounds in the hospital because of the massive amounts of fluids they had to give me. I lost that and then started to retain fluid so I wasn't losing weight at all. They assured me that it was due to the complications and eventually I would start to lose. The doctor was right! Finally this week I started losing a lot. Still worried that it will stop but keeping my fingers crossed that all the complications are behind me! Best of luck!!!

Yes! Fluid Retention Has Been A Major Problem My Whole Life, And I Stay Away From High Sodium Contents...Just Glad That I Have No Problem Drinking The 64 oz Water Daily. And I Had To Find A Cola Substitute ... I Can Have Crystal Light - sugar free -Iced Tea Peach - No Sodium.... Thank God - I Will Never Drink A Carbonated Beverage Again! Which Is Fine By Me.. I Don't Want To Stretch I'm Starting To Picture A Shrinkage In My Mind And With Time And My Lifelong Attachment To My Bariatric Dr. I'll See It Happen And You All Will Too. Good Luck Everyone

I to came home from the hospital with (yes) 20 lbs of Fluid gain from IV'S. 6 days Later I'm down 9 lb and losing everyday the swelling in my legs and feet are going down slow but going down.

I drink vitamin water zero taste good and

Nothing really in it better then unflavored water

I gained 11 pounds when I went back from dehydration... It's a minor set back, but water weight comes off easily.

I had my surgery 7/25 at 270 got up to 278 now I'm 257

It Looks Like I Only Lost 10lbs~ Well 20 If Ya Throw In The 10 Lost The Week Of The Pre~Surgery Liver Shinkage Lol.. I'm Happy :-) Any Loss Is A Happy Day ~ I'm On My Way =:-{) )
