4 days post op

thank you all for words of encouragement a couple days ago!! rough start but what a difference a few days make. Today i feel  pretty good, drinking water ok and the protien chicken soup. The warn really feels good my new mr tummy!  Todays concern - day after surgery my weight was up 9 lbs and today i am still still up 3 lbs from day of surgery. What is up with that?? fluid still? feet were swollen but that better now. Thank you again for support and advice!!!!

At my final life skills class (surgi center requires 3 sleeve classes) they told us not to check the scale for a week. They said they pump us so full of fluids and gas the number will only depress us and not do us any good. I am no pro and still pre-sleeve. But I just wanted to share what I was told. Congrats and good luck to you! 

thanks. I did not hear that in class. Makes perfect sense. I shal l" step away from the scale" for a few days.

Yes... when I walked out of the hospital, I was the exact same weight as I was walking in. The IV fluid and all of the pain meds take 3-6 days to get through.

After that, I became friends with my scale!

I am so glad to hear you are on the mends and feeling better.  When I had my surgery, I was up 8 pounds after surgery and lost 2 pounds a day for several days.  I'm sure it was water. 

Best of luck with your recovery and weight-loss journey,

Carol

yes I came home 11 # heavier, wanted to cry, but within a few days it was off. hang in there
