Hello how long did it take for the weight from the fluid from hospital come off, I left 10 pounds heavier. When dose the weight start falling off?

I couldn’t weigh for 12 days as I was recouperating in a hotel. But at the end of that - I was well into losing.

but I think it varies a bit. It will happen!!

I lost 9 lbs on my pre op diet and gained 9 lbs while in the hospital. It took me about 5 days to lose that and by the end of week one I lost 3 more.

I'm 5 days post op and still in pain; can't sleep on my side cause I feel that is tugging at my stomach. I still have pain on my neck and shoulders... the doctor had me do a cat-scan and everthing showed okay. Anyone else went through this?

Try to stay off the scale and don't worry about it. I'd say within 2 weeks

Just a thought but I'm wondering if some of the air they filled your belly with traveled up into the neck/shoulder. I have heard this can happen if you late too flat initially after any laparoscopic surgery. I hope you feel better soon.

I gained 5 in the hospital and have lost three of those.

I weighted more coming home too. I had surgery on the 11th

5 days post op of Bypass. Feeling good, no pain just tired. Drinking water 42-48 oz and protein 60 g. Still on liquids but soup menu has increased. Have noticed that jello has lost its appeal but popsicles (sugar free) I am still loving. From 400lbs (January 2019)to 319lbs currently. Thanks to my family and friends and these post and support groups.

I left the hospital heavier than I went in too. I was so discouraged the first few days at home—wanting to see the instant effects on the scale..especially since I was feeling so crummy. I’m 8 days post-op and the scale is moving in the right direction and those pesky pounds from the hospital are almost gone.
