Please HELP!

I'm concerned because I'm almost 1 week post op (surgery 9/12/16)and haven't lost any weight. I even think I may have gained a pound. Has anyone else had this issue, is it normal for this to happen, and/or how do you fix this? I don't consume anything that isn't allowed. Just liquids...protein shakes, broths, sf popsicles and Jello, and sf apple juice. Please help me get back on track.

Could it be possible that you are still carrying Fluid from the surgery? Are you urinating frequently during the day and at night? The first day I came home I didn't lose any weight either, but on day 3 home I lost 4 pounds. Be patient though...give it some time. You still may have a lot of Fluid in your body from the surgery.

Thanks. I think i am urinating regularly. I dont think it was like it was before surgery though. Not so much at night either. I just have never heard of anyone not loosing any weight in week one. So I was concerned I was doing something wrong.

tbh you are lucky you aren't up 10 lbs after surgery, that's more normal just from all the IV fluids and Water retention due to the trauma of surgery. Seriously, I'm not just being flip or something. Stay off the scale for a few weeks, and don't weigh more than every couple of weeks in the first few months after surgery or you will drive yourself nuts. Brace yourself because the odds are good you will hit some stalls despite doing everything right -- that's just the sad and frustrating way things work!

Lol thanks for your honesty. Your response makes me feel better. I'm not one to always be on the scale everyday. Someone had posted on my fb page that they had lost 20 lbs in 3 days and I thought if she's lost that much, u should have lost something, even if it was 4lbs. I'll relax. Thank you
