Did anyone gain like me???

Hi all, My surgery was 12-28 and I weighed 240. Next day I weighed 247. I kept saying I'm going the wrong way. Now, after 1 week I am down to 235.8. I'm 60 and heard a similar pattern on another super senior. Finally, she has started serious wt loss - 45 pounds in her next 2 months. I'm hoping to start some serious numbers real soon. (I can't exercise quite yet because I had to have 3 units of blood the day after I went home. I'm still a bit anemic) Good thoughts for us all !!! Shar

I had my Surgery on the 16th of december and in the Hosp I was up a few pounds, they told me it was because of the IV fluids and such.. I think its common... Im Now down 25 lbs and losing inches all over.. So it was just the step back before the running start. (((HUGS))) Dori

Thanx Dori, Love the step back thing - makes me laugh at myself. Shar

I was in the hospital for six days and in that time I gained thirty pounds of water from all of the stuff that they were pumping through my IVs after I got home all of tha****er weight came off in about a week and a half. I went in the hospital at 369 came out at 396 and now my weight is 335 in four and a half weeks. The more I moved around and walked the faster the weight came off. I'd walk for 15 min go to the bathroom and so on just tried to make sure that a bathroom was always close by. In the begining my wife would take me to Giant Eagle (local supermarket) and we would just walk the isles to get me a little bit of exersize. It started slow but boy am I happy that I had the WLS. Pat
