3 Days Post-op Weight Gain?



Recommended Posts

It is my third day and everything went according to plan. Just got home from the hospital and weighed myself for the first time. I was shocked to see that i actually have gained 8 pounds since the day of surgery. How is that possible? Is it the gas, is it the fluids, or is there something else?

Probably gas and all of the fluids you were given. I had surgery Monday and going home today.. I Wana try to avoid the scale but I know that's a lie.

It's the fluids. I am having surgery next week but when I had my kids each time I went home weighing more than when I got there....and that's even having an 8lb 10oz'er lol.

It will come off quickly

Fluids from the IVs and Water retention from the swelling. I came home 6 lbs heavier... but it came off the first week.

I came back heavier, too. Gas, fluids,-what everyone else is saying. Nothing to worry about. Momentary setback, if you can even call it that because those pounds will start flying off. Congratulations and good luck with your recovery.

I had gained 10 pounds after surgery. The hospital pumps IV fluids while you are there. I am now one week post op and I have lost 15. Be patient.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
