please help, 2 days post op and miserable

I was supposed to have vgs surgery 1/24, but i was dehydrated and the surgery instead took place 1/26. I received fluids in the hospital and was appalled to learn,when I got back home, that I had gained FOURTEEN pounds in the hospital. I am so discouraged. I am very sore, the tylenol with codeine is not halping and I am gettting depressed that i havent had solid food for 10 days and wont for another 19 days.

Has anyone else gained 14 pounds in the hospital? I was on a liquid diet! I want to quit but im afraid of ripping open this stupid sleeve.

    I looked up regret the first week after surgery. Now I am 6 weeks out and my body is holding onto every ounce for dear life. Can't seem to catch a break so I just stopped getting on the scale. My 15 lb dog eats more than I do. So I have no choice but to wait. I am very happy for those that have lost 40 something pounds in 6 weeks but that isn't going to be my story. So we all have been there.
