They warned you not to, but you weighed yourself anyway ?You Rebel.

Happens to a lot of us.

Hahahaha.... I am such a rebel, that made me giggle... ?.

They pumped you full of air and liquids

I didn't weigh until about a week out for that very reason. It's all the crap they pump into you before & during surgery. It'll work its way out of your system over the course of the first week.

Don't worry about it. There is so much swelling right now, as well as the IV fluids. It will come off - it's not real weight gain, such as in fat. That is impossible.

Soon you will start getting your daily steps back and forth to the bathroom. ?? I wouldn't worry though it will all come off its just excess fluid.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Stacy and I'm in the stage to prepare for surgery. I just finish my nutrition visits. I'm waiting for approval to have the surgery. Thanks for sharing this information because I wan't for sure what to expect after or during surgery. Did any of you stay in the hospital after surgery or was you allow to go home? I'm a little nervous, which I probably shouldn't be because I've had a c-section with my daughter.

Normally people stay one night - sometimes two.

I just stayed one night.......

I had a 2 night stay

I was shocked that I gained 6 lbs but was told it was the IV.

It has been 7 days since I had surgery and I’ve lost the IV weight and a few pounds- so please do not worry!!
