Post op weight gain
Apr 18, 2010
I didn't expect it, but I went into the hospital last week at this time weighing 290. I weighed myself on Wed after coming home and I was 299 having eaten little more than broth and jello. I doubt I took in more than 300 calories on Monday and Tuesday.It was all water.
It's a week later and my abdomen is still firm around the incisions. I weight 292 now and my stomach and digestive parts are singing like a very gross symphony. Things were definately changed with the band. I'm anxious to see if my continued diet will drop me into the 280's for next week.
I wonder.... I wonder if that's why so many babies are so fussy and cry a lot and sleep a lot after they're born. They have never before eaten food and their digestive system is learning how to process food. Hmmmm....
