So upset!

I have told myself I am going to weigh myself only once a week, and that day will be on Thursday, the same as the day I had surgery. We'll as everyone knows this is Thursday and I weighed myself. I just can't believe it I only lost 1 lb and 4 ozs. I hardly eat anything at all and I can really tell that I am losing. Could it be that my stomach is still swollen and I am just now starting to (Pardon Me) but pass gas. My husband guessed I had lost 10 lbs and my sister guessed 19 lbs but no way.

Now I have a. Stupid cough and took some cough syrup this morning and was so so sick to my stomach, didn't throw up but thought I would, just can't eat anything so far, doing good to keep Water in me right now.

So has anyone else been like this?

Sorry to be so yucky with my message! Oh I am only a week post-Op.

    Hi Verna. With all due respect, you should have never gotten on the scale at all. At one week post op you are full of fluids and swollen from the surgery. Don't get on the scale for two weeks. Then yo

    Verna, You just had major surgery. It's only 1 week post op and you should not be eating anything at all if your doctor has you on fluids only. Warm fluids are staying down and that's great. You p

    Verna, you should call you doctor, specially with the cough, you don't want to come down with pneumonia. They say it's typical to only drop very little after surgery, you could even gain weight. Y

i loose in big chunks, so i stay the same or little lost for 2 to 4 Weeks, then in just days i can drop several pounds....bodies are weird, just still to it and it will show soon. probably all the fluids still. also are any of you fluids sodium? like broth, maybe even extra Fluid retention.....not to be weird but are you constipated? that can account for a little bit too.

After surgery I didn't have a bowel movement for 7 days due to the pain meds. Constipation is a big side effect.

Oh so true about the bowel movements and I am doing better. I can tell my stomach is finally getting rid of the gas!
