I was only down about 2 pounds my first week but I'm now 11 days out and this morning I got on the scales and I've lost 8 pounds since surgery. We are so of the IV fluids and everything for a while it takes a while for all that to get out of your system plus your body is in conservation mode just went through a major ordeal so your body wants to protect itself it'll come off.

Totally. In the hospital they pump so much IV fluid into you. I only lost 2lbs my first week as I gained 8 in the hospital.

Post-op, I weighed four pounds more than when I started. It took all of that first week to drop those 4, then during the second week my weight started to go down. Stalls happen, and they are as predictable as sunrise and sunset.

Congrats on your surgery! You're doing fine. Try not to torture yourself worrying about the number on the scale from day to day. Just weigh once a week on the same day at the same time. That's your best indicator of what your real weight loss is. Your priority now should be healing your body after this major surgery. And of course that is best done by getting your recommended Protein and fluids and carefully following your program, including "moving" your body to give it some exercise.
