3 days post op and gained weight?



Recommended Posts

Day of surgery I was 258.8, next day when I was released I was 266. Today I am 3 days post op and I'm at 261. I am still on full liquids so I'm confused how I haven't lost back to at least my day of surgery weight. Has anyone else had this happen?

Yep. So many of us. You're full of IV fluids and swollen. I urge you to stay off the scale for the next two weeks. I lost very little during that time. Get your Water, Protein, and Vitamins in. Walk, rest, and be good to yourself. You will lose weight! Now is for healing.

I am 4 days post op. Before surgery was 264, after surgery 272 and now only back down to 267. I am not going to weigh myself again for another week because it is depressing! Then I read on other posts that people are losing 10, 11 lbs in their first WEEK! I am just going to trust what the experienced people say here and hope for the best!

Don't weigh yourself till the end of the 1st month. You're going to hit the 3week stall and it's only going to bother you even more. Wait it out. You'll be happy with the outcome in the end!

Your insides are still swollen & anesthesia usually keep everything in (your stool & urine), on top of medication & fluids from the hospital. Don't get discouraged, & give yourself about a month when swelling goes down & your getting back to normal.

Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
