Weight gain in hospital! Anyone else?

[Emilysgigi 3]

I came home from the hospital on Friday after gastric bypass revision from lapband on Tuesday and I had gained 19#'s. I know that it is from all the fluids given to me while in the hospital, but it still feels like a set back. I was very swollen and that has gone down and I have lost 17 of the 19#'s. but it looks like at my one week f/u on Thursday I will probably just barely be below weight day of surgery? Did anyone else experience this.?

Everyone. They pump you full of fluids while there.

I was up 12lbs after surgery. I read about how that happens from all the fluids you get so I was prepared for it, but it's still a bit of a blow when you see it. It goes away fast! :-)

Gained 22lbs in the hospital. It was gone in 3 days after I got home.

I just got out of the hospital for an unrelated issue..up 14 lbs omg...bad food, no exercise and fluids.I didnt eat much but had to bring in my own Protein Powder and Vitamin Water after two days...they brought me full sugar ensure protein! Yikes! Granted, this was a different hospital than the one in which I had my bypass, but trying to get a nut. consult was ridiculous. I don't think they ever even called my bypass surgeon, yet they kept fretting over how little I ate...ok, rant over.

I think that is horrible! They should be trained in every kind of dietary situation and have the proper food for you! You are there to get better and healthy, and proper nutrition is key! They have diets for cardiac and diabetics. They shouldve been able to cater to our simpler diet!

They had regular food, diabetic, and cardiac. I was on the cardiac diet....no salt, but plenty of carbs! The lack of Protein supplements I could tolerate was the most ridiculous. Then I needed special permission from the docs to bring in my own Protein. They wanted to have me mix it with full- sugar fruit juice....NOT! The weird thing is after all this, they constantly talked about how little I ate...well, duh! Give me something I can actually eat! Not looking forward to going back in.
