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 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!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
