Weight is up from the morning of surgery 2 days ago

I was weight at the hospital before surgery.  My weight was 214.3 lbs (I purposely tried to loose a few pounds prior to surgery).  I just weighed myself at home and I have a very accurate scale and my weight was 220 pounds!  That a big shift in weight between Thursday morning and Saturday afternoon.  I've been on nothing but liquids.  Why would my weight be up?

Hey  is water gained you said your cycle hit prior to sugery.  Plus you had a IV right.  So give it a few days.  Glad you are doing well.

You gets lots of  IV flud during surgery.  Give it another week.  Are your ankles and hands kind of puffy? 

      Its  that darn sugar water I.V. they give you in the hosp, Give it a week or two - you will  be down !!!  you only went up 6 lbs and got out early - just imagine if you had to stay a few more days -- thinking 15-20 lbs over 4 days

Just make sure to push your fluids - you need the good fresh to flush  it all out. you have to stay hydrated - dont think that your up weight wise and not going to drink ..  Keep Drinking !!!

That's exactly what it is the IV fluids. I stayed for 5 days and I was very disappointed when I made it home and got on the scale and it said that I had gained weight. But by the time I went to see my Doc a week later, I had lost 7lbs. So dont get discouraged.
