HELP!!! I have gained weight since surgery..they say cause the fluids and aunt flow..but is that true a paradoxal (sp) affect with a lot of meds..am I having one with this surgery..

I started my period 2 days after surgery (it was early) . I weighed myself the next morning and I was up 8 lbs from the morning of surgery. It took my the first week to get back to my preop weight. Definitely a combo of all the IVF they gave me and my period!

It's just awful it's the worse period I've had too..it's like a blood bath my goodness.. I usually only go 2.5 days and pretty light this is not normal I hope it doesn't last long

I did not gain weight after surgery. I am down 7 pounds from my day of surgery weigh in. Luckily I didn't get attacked by Aunt Flow. Mirena has all but killed my period

You're going to pureed foods already? My diet guidelines are Clear liquids for 3 days then full liquids for 2 weeks (cream Soups, Tomato juice, pudding etc) -then- pureed- foods, (Mashed tatoes, baby food consistancy ANYTHING, oatmeal, grits, etc...)

every doctor is different I suppose. As far as pureed food goes, check out the baby section. Stage 1 and 2 are good consistancy for that phase of the diet. That'll give you variety. Also Oatmeal with Protein powder, cream of wheat, tuna pureed, pureed Beans with avocado, etc.

Thank you for the tips! Today I had some cream of wheat with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein Powder. I also had a Protein shake. In a little while I'm going to try some mashed potatoes with Protein Powder.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
