Post op. Surgery 7/6. Home today

So I am home today. I weighed 253 before surgery and now I am 260 :unsure:. I am hoping this is from surgery, bloating, and swelling, Anyone else weighed more after surgery?

Yup. So many people. Stay off the scale. It's all fluid and swelling. Heal up and don't get discouraged. Congrats!![emoji323]

At the hospital or surgery center, you received bags of intravenous fluids before, during and after getting sleeved. These IV fluid bags have significant weigh and, therefore, contribute to the weight you're currently at.

It would be wise to stay off the scale for a few weeks and let your body sort things out. It's physiologically impossible to gain 7 pounds of fat in 24 hours unless you ate 25000 calories in the 24 hours that have elapsed since your procedure. It's fluid retention.

I had surgery 7/3. I was curious this morning about my weight, I'm up 4lbs. I know that's normal but I was curious too.
