No scale change

On my preop diet I lost 16 lbs. I was discharged from hospital on Friday evening. I had my IV up until then. I was just curious if anyone else stood on the scale a couple of days after coming home and was heavier?!? I almost felt sick:(

I hear its normal..they pump your stomach full of gas..plus your swollen

Thank you!

do not fret, that is correct, sometimes because of all the fluids you will gain some. i was on fluids for an extra 3 days and gained almost 25 when i went home. freaked out! but believe us when we say, it will come off in no time

Ok phew! I really felt a sense of disappointment almost. Even though  I know that my 1/2 cup liquid diet that I am struggling to get in I haven't gained fat. And I sm only 5 days post op I need to relax:)

i guarantee for the first 8-12 months you will lose. how much we dont always know but you will.

with the exception of the famous three week stall where the scales will stop for 1-a couple weeks.

my advise looking back is take advantage of this first year. slow but sure

and congratulations

Thank you:)

About 8 days after surgery I was the exact same weight as the day of surgery...but soon after the pounds started to shed away....
