Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Surgery over, yea! Day 2 of hospital stay. Evening of surgery was up and walking the halls. Next day am I was nauseated in pain and dizzy. The afternoon was much better. Started clear liquids day after surgery. My pouch feels so small and tender.

Today I should go home.

I have had a hysterectomy and I too have gained weight. They say it is bc our bodies are swollen bc they have been beaten up so bad. Plus they pumped us with a lot of Fluid. I gained 4 lbs. This morning is day 3 post op and I'm down 2 lbs so 2 more to go till I'm back at surgery weight. It really sucks but I know it has to be the surgery cuz we haven't eaten anything and we've been walking. We can do this! Let me know how fast ur excess weight is coming off too. How much did u gain?

I haven't weighed myself since right before surgery on Monday.I got my period that night & didn't want be discouraged if I haven't lost any weight. I figure I'll wait until Monday which is exactly 1 week before I weigh myself. Mondays will be my date with the scale!

Hi. My wife had the bypass yesterday. She starts drinking clear liquid this morning and maybe sugar-free jello this afternoon. If she does good she will go home today.

Get to go home today. On Clear liquids. What I get to choose that was on the tray? Well crystal light lemonade, hot tea, green Jello or beef broth. Beef broth had worse smell and I tried it and was nasty. Sticking with green jello and crystal light.

That's great. I didn't have any complications, bug my surgeon requires a 2 night stay. I just had the bypass on Monday.

I just found out I will need to stay another night. My hemoglobin is low. Hopefully I car get rid if the IV my arm is sore from it. They are giving me potassium IV now and it takes a few hours. I feel surprisingly good. Just tired. I am sure I gained weight here with all the Fluid they have pumped me up with.

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!
