1 Day Postop - Weight Gain



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve done yesterday, 4/4/16. Before I left my house, I weighed 234 lbs. Just got home today and I now weigh 242 lbs. Is this normal? Is it Water weight?! Kinda freaked out at the moment!

Absolutely...

You'll be pumped full of fluids as well as swollen up from the surgery...

I'd be not worrying about checking your weight for a while yet..

And also - relax....

The weight will come off...

Really it will....

Stop worrying and put away the scale. I mean it.

I came home more than nine lbs heavier than preop after a readmission where I was eating NOTHING for five days, only getting IV fluids. Do I need to tell you how fast that all reversed itself?

Your body has one job in the immeidate postop period: to heal from surgery. Period. Weight loss happens secondary to healing. That's the way it is, the way it was meant to be. Take care of yourself, follow your postop instructions, and call your surgeon if you have problems or questions.

By the way, surgery went well. First two hours were rough but I got up and got moving. It really paid off. I was doing laps by the third hour and walking every two hours. No nausea whatsoever. Also found Atkins Lift Protein drink at Wal-Mart. Water with 20g of protein!

It is very normal.. they pumped you full of Fluid, and you are (most likely) on painkillers.. Once you stop those, and your bowel gets moving again, you will start dropping.

I bet it's from the 35,000 calories they force-fed you while under anesthesia....

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
