Gained 3lbs After Surgery (5 days on clears!)

[Swanton_Bomb 522]

I got sleeved on Thursday. sugar free clears since Tuesday (only broth, SF Jello and lots of water), no more than 200 calories each day. I advanced to full liquids today and was able to choke down about 2oz. of Protein Shake. Upon arriving home today I weighed myself and I was 3 lbs. heavier than I was on my surgery morning. I was urinating a lot so I didn't think I was retaining Water but it has to be that. It certainly wasn't from excess calories. Is this typical?

I was wondering the same thing.. only I weighed this afternoon with clothes on LOL.. and I was up 15.. I about died LOL but am chucking it up to the IVs and gas also that time of month LOL.. I will wait another week or so before I weigh again.. Maybe at my 2week checkup.

Between swelling from the surgery and all the IV fluids, it is completely normal to come home weighing more than you did when you went to the hospital. The IV fluids will flush out in a few days but the swelling may take as long as a month to go away. It will be ok!

I was up 13 lbs when I got home from the hospital! But they had me so pumped full of fluids cause I had kidney failure during my surgery so I expected it. It dropped off with in a few days then I knew I was on my own in having to get enough fluids

The pump you full of a boatload of fluids during surgery. It’ll take time before it passes

I was discharged today, and I was over 10lbs heavier... I feel like it too. Bloated as heck. When does this pass?

I lost the gained Fluid that I had panicked about in two days, significant swelling of my upper belly remained but was gone by day 6 or 7.

It took my 9 pound surgery weight gain about 8 days to go down

I am 3 weeks post op, sleeved 10/29. I gained 12 after surgery and about fainted lol. I lost 5 pounds over the next few days and then on day 6 I dropped 6 pounds overnight lol. I have had mostly steady weight loss since other than a 9 day stall right after week one. I am sure my body was just adjusting still. I feel like I am losing pretty rapidly and enjoying the heck out of it. I wish I would lose even faster though lol!!

Well after a 4 days I have lose all 10lbs and starting to lose regular weight. Thank goodness because I was so bloated and it’s been driving me nuts.

Takes about a week to rid yourself of surgery fluids. You’re also swollen and healing just from them routing around in there

You’ll be fine and it’ll move!
