Maybe a call to your surgeon's office and a nurse could help with what is going on. There were a few days in the 3 week liquid post op period I felt kind of yukkie, but did not gain then. I would say call the doc to see if someone there can help.

I cannot speak directly to what you're feeling, but I agree you should speak to your Dr. or PA. Keep in mind your body is still healing and needs rest to heal. Please don't get discouraged. The first few weeks are tough. Try staying positive and hold tight to the determination you had in making the decision to have WLS.

I hope you feel better soon. Call your surgeon... : )

Ddsweighin, don't stress over the weight gain. Perfectly normal the first month post-op. Stay on your eating plan and it will come off soon. Your body's been through a trauma, and it's healing. After the first three weeks I started to lose at a good pace. Two weeks post-op I developed a head and chest cold, and it hung on forever. I'm still coughing sometimes and I'm now six weeks post-op. I'm pretty sure the duration of this cold had something to do with being compromised by surgery, having a breathing tube, etc. I'm prone to bronchitis in the winter anyway. It's getting better, but slowly. If you're truly worried about any specific symptoms, call your doctor. Really! They can't help if you don't. But feeling generally lousy from time to time the first month is par for the course. For me, walking and lots of Water improved things. The days I felt crappy I was usually dehydrated and didn't realize it until I logged my calories, water and exercise in MyFitnessPal. Good luck.
