I have been re-admitted back in the hospital last Friday due to complications. Soooo after I had been on an IV most of the week I thought for sure I lost 10+ pounds. Got on the scale and gained 3-4 pounds Wth???

It's just the fluids, not a real weight gain no worries. Hope your feeling better and on your way to healing.

Yup, relax, hide the scale, weigh next week and it'll be gone plus some!

Okay I weighed myself at the hospital. But I am gonna have my hubby weigh me once a week and hide the scale. Did u gain in the beginning? My cuzzo told me she did.

I didn't weigh until a week post-op, woulda sworn I'd lost a ton but I'll take 3 pounds gone!

I gained 12 pounds at my first post op appointment, I wanted to cry. I'm 11 weeks out now and have lost 61 pounds, everyone was right, it was fluids :-)

The weight will come off. Patience my dear

They didn't weigh me on discharge. Wonder if possible is why?

Possible gain.

Wow omg I want to cry. My eyes are even watery. That is wonderful!!!!

Remember everyone our bodies just came through major surgery. Swelling inside and out, pain inside and out. Fluids that were given and body trying to adjust to its new plumbing...try not to obsess about the scale and how fast or slow it comes off we are all different body types with and without complications major and minor. YOU WILL LOSE....YOU WILL SUCCEED...STAY POSITIVE.....
