I should know this, but can't remember. I had an open hernia repair last Wednesday. The day before surgery I weighed 201. Today I weighed 210. There is NO WAY I could have gained. I'm eating a lot less post surgery. Grant it, I'm not moving much, but this is depressing. This was my second open surgery since February 5 of this year. This is beginning to take a mental and physical toll on this old gal.

Hey girl. I had an ablasion done in January and gained 9 lbs in the hospital. Its the iv fluid. Dont panic... I know easier said then done... It takes about 5 days to work its way thru. Just keep staying the course. Hope you are feeling well since surgery.

Its post surgical fluid build up. It will go away. Stay off the scale for a,week

It's common to gain after surgery. Don't panic - it's fluids from iv etc. I gained about 6 to 8 pounds when I went home.
