Has anyone gained after surgery

Hey everyone. I was sleeved on 12/20 and I seem to be gaining not losing. The only thing I can tolerate is Water.

    You're still filled with fluids from surgery - you likely gained several pounds just from that.

    The only thing you should be concerned about is healing and getting in Water and any liquid nourishment you're able to tolerate. Weight gain/loss is meaningless right now.

    Stay off the scale for at least the next few weeks unless you can accept that your body's priority right now is healing and that may mean lots of changes in weight - fluctuations up and down are really and truly pointless to worry about until later.

    I had my sleeve 12/19. On 12/22 I was up 16 pounds from my pre surgery weigh in. I was worried that something could actually be wrong, but the doctor assured me it was totally normal and reminded me not to focus on weight yet and to stay off the scale!

    Hi, I gained about 5 pounds when i left the hospital due to fluids. I felt the same way trust me! I am now almost 3 weeks post op and I have lost 35 lbs since I was discharged. Everyone is different so dont worry you will lose!

    I gained 10 pounds after surgery. I asked to get on the field during one of my walks around the hospital floor. I was flabbergasted when I saw the extra weight. That came off in about a week and a half. I had my sleeve on 12/5. I've lost 23.7 from my starting weight before surgery. I'm starting to slow down now. I think I need to pick up the exercise a bit more
