I’m a little over 2 weeks post op revision from lap band to RNY. The last 2 days I’ve weighed, I’ve gained weight! How is this possible? I’m getting my water in each day, getting my protein in and sticking to the plan. I’m not cheating with high calorie foods/drinks. I’ve gained 2 lbs in 2 days. What is happening?!? Help!

Probably water weight. Hell I weighed more coming out of the hospital than when I went in! I was so pumped full of fluids that I probably weighed 5lbs more when I left.

I'm assuming you're using the same scale, same time of day, same clothes (or none)?

It's IV fluids, inflammation from surgery and your body trying to start the healing process - I was up 5#s after surgery, just keep pushing fluids and it will work itself out.

It'll be ok. I promise. You're not gaining weight, you're retaining some water. This, too, shall pass:)

I had bypass in July and my pattern each month is gain two pounds for a week then lose ten. It’s just your body adjusting. You are eating so little calories there is no way you are gaining “fat” weight. You have to eat 3000 calories extra. You are doing good! Plus you are still probably really swollen, full of gas from the procedure and have fluids from the IVs so don’t worry !
