Im a week post op and gained 5lbs! What the heck is this about? Im kinda upset about this.

Water weight, and you probably still have gas from the surgery. It'll take a few more days for your body to adjust. Keep drinking your water, and getting your Protein in. Walk around a little bit more.

And most of all, STAY OFF THE SCALE! At least for the first couple weeks because there is so much fluctuation, it will only hurt you. Give yourself a couple weeks, and don't get discouraged. Get the numbers out of your head.

Thanks...And im not allowed to start my protein yet..tomorrow is my 1 week post op appointment...so im thinking tomorrow I start protein and Vitamins...and after getting on the scale today..i definitely wont b doing that anytime soon...

That's odd. My doc had me on Protein as soon as I was home. Every doc is different.

Good luck.
