Is it normal to gain weight in the hospital after surgery? Wtf?!

Yup, you are probably all pumped up with fluids from your time at the hospital. I am guessing you are not getting many calories so I doubt it is from any intake.

Same here, I gained 7 lbs. Depressing, on top of not eating for 5 days!

Yes, it is normal. I gained 11lbs and lost it and then some within 2 weeks.

I was up a ton of weight after surgery! It will be gone most likely in a week.

I hsd gained 9 pounds in the hospital

Phew! Thanks! I was worried my body was storing fat because I hadn't eaten.

I still weigh more than when I went in for surgery. Grrrrrr.

Thats normal with all the gas and liquids they put in you I had gained 9 pounds

I came home with 14 extra pounds of Fluid.

I gained 20 pounds from all the extra fluid but thankfully lost it in 5-6 days.

Yes - I just had surgery and gained about 8lbs while in the hospital. Now, at home, and finally shedding those pounds.

10 days later I'm finally down to my pre op weight. And my ankles aren't all swollen. Hooray!

Yes it is completely normal to have gain immediately post op. They pump you with lots of fluids. Most of the fluids they give you are isotonic which make you retain Don't worry, you will lose it quickly.
