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....
