I gained 26 pounds. Needless to say when I saw that on the scale I threatened my surgeon lol. I am 6 days post op today and I have lost 16 of it. I felt like crap though from all that fluid and it was hard to move I felt so full and bloated. Just wondering what everyone else had gained and also to warn pre-ops. I know I was expecting a little gain from fluids but not that much.
