the first week you are still loaded up with iv Fluid so it would be shocking if you hadn't actually gained weight from that! Give it another couple of days and you'll see suddenly it drops quite a bit, just be patient and keep following the surgeons instructions

It has been 5 days, right? How much did you think you would loose in 5 days? Not being snarky. Just wanting to know.

Post surgery you are likely to retain Water. You might not notice weight-loss for a little bit. Be aware that with vsg there is often a stall in weight-loss at around 3 weeks. Stay the course. It passes.

This takes time. You'll get there. It isn't easy but you can do this.

It is understandable!

Not loosing when you've taken such huge steps is hard. Even a little loss can boost someone.

I hope the changes happen soon!

Hang in there! the weight loss will come.

I had surgery on 1/20 too! I weighed myself Monday and gained a pound! I was a pound heavier then when I began my pre-op diet. I was like wtf? Today (Wednesday), I weighed myself and I lost 7 pounds! Im thinking the fluids and gas they pumped into me during surgery was the weight gain and it took a few days to pass out if my body. Give it time, it will happen. Everybody's body is different...

I had surgery on 1/18, I was up the other day and attributed it to fluids. Today I was down 8 lbs. hang in there!!

I would stay off of the scale for the entire first month. Your body is recovering from a trauma; you were pumped full of air, and you are living on liquids. Stick to your plan and trust the process.
