I was sleeved exactly a week ago & have lost nothing. I actually have gained a few pounds. My feet are swollen so I know I'm still retaining Fluid. I know when I had a csection, I was out of the hospital like 3 weeks with no weight loss and all of a sudden 40 lbs dropped in a week. It doesn't help that I'm diabetic on meds but when in the hospital they shot me up with insulin which made me gain 20 lbs n one week when I first started when pregnant. So really I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this or been in same situation. I see a lot about people not losing weight but not much about my situation.... Retaining fluid & the insulin issue... Please help. I'm walking my butt off & feel great but disappointed over no weight loss...

Sleeve date 11/26/14

Weight 247

Today weight 251

Yes, this is very common. The only way to solve it is by drinking as much plain water as you can stand, minimize or eliminate sodium, and go for a long walk.

My doc told me to not weigh myself for at least 10 days after the surgery because everyone gains because of water. Just keep yourself hydrated and make sure you're peeing a lot. You'll be fine it's normal.

Thank you so much. I think I Dont drink enough. I do the rest. Thanks for the reply.

Yep. I gained 9 lbs in 24 hours after surgery. So much fluid, it's completely normal.

It took me 11 days to lose all that I gained the day of surgery. Don't worry about it. I would suggest not even weighing yourself for the first month. There will be many more stalls and even gains along the way...it's all normal.

Thanks for the reply kindle & the motivation. Im addicted to weighing. I did lose 4 pounds when I weighed today. Yay!

Thanks kim!!!!

Weighed this morning. Down 10 pounds from starting weight.

Weight today 241

U need to call your surgeon. Swelling in the feet can be a sign of other post op issues. The weight loss will come. Your edema needs to be checked out ASAP.

Well they are already pretty much normal now & it happened just like this when I had a baby. Thanks for the concern.

Sleeve was 1-28-15, which is just 4 days ago. Everything went good, I was in hospital for 2 days.

My question is, did anyone else gain weight in the hospital? I came home weighing 15 pounds more than on my surgery date.

Read the posts on this thread.... Your question has already been answered.

I was just thinking the same thing I lost like 15 after I was sleeved but now I've gained back like 4lbs!

I've officially decided to stay off the scale until my follow ups and try and focus on staying hydrated.
