I had sleeve surgery on 12-9-13. Was I the only on that came home from the hospital weighing more than the morning of surgery? I was up 13 pounds after my 2 days in the hospital. Today is the first day that my scale shows that I have lost weight! woo hoo. Down 5 pounds, I'll take it!

Congratulations on your surgery. Most people leave the hospital with few pounds of Water weight from all of the IV fluids they pump into you. I didn't weigh myself right away because I knew this and didn't want to be discouraged. But, when I did a week or so later, I was down 8 lbs and then dropped another 5 in the next couple of days. It is pretty common and you seem to be on the right track. Good luck!

Congrats on your Surgery and weight loss! Woohoo

I'm six days post op and I lost my first pound today. I can take slow as long as it's steady lol!

I just had my final surgeon's visit yesterday, with a surgery date of 12/23. He told me to have someone hide the scale when I leave for the hospital and not let me have it for at least a week after I come home. He said I will gain at least ten pounds from IV fluids and to not get on the scale for at least a week, and then to only weigh myself once a week after that. He also said that I should not necessarily expect that dreaded 3rd week stall, and that if I keep my protein to about 80 grams a day, the hair loss should at least be minimized.
