You’re only a few days post op! Give it time. Follow the intake and dietary guidelines your program gave you. The weight will come off if you do. You’re body is still likely in the process of dropping all the extra fluids they gave you during surgery.

Also, for the surgery, you likely were pumped full of fluids so that you were less likely to get dehydrated. I “gained” 6+ pounds due to the IV when I had my surgery. Give yourself some time.

You gain water weight from the IV fluids they give you in the hospital. It takes several days to lose that water weight (my surgeon said avoid the scale for the first 7-10 days, so that's what I'd suggest). Try not to stress yourself out, the few extra pounds after surgery is 100% normal!

Fluid!! Don’t weigh until 2-3 weeks postop!

As the other posters said plus are you constipated? That adds weight too (& it will become quite a regular occurrence).

Good luck & congrats on your surgery.

Hey,
I have mine the 27th of July just like you.
I lost 8 pounds we are the 3rd of August.
I guess we just have to give it some time[emoji123] keep going

You probably haven’t lost the fluid from surgery yet. Stay off the scale for a few weeks and save yourself the mental stress.

When I went in to have an abscess drained, I gained eight pounds from their saline solution, and had a ridiculous moon face that looked like I was a lifelong prednisone patient, and it took about two weeks to dry out. Don't fret.
