erin2796 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I am 4 days post op and have just now gotten down to 1lb more than what I weighed pre surgery.... Does anyone know why you gain weight after surgery and when you start to see the weight go down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I was very swollen from the surgery, the trip, and just the whole experience. Once I got home and got back into my routine my body started getting back to normal and the weight started falling off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willi333 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 WARNING !!! This could be TMI I had a "hard time" getting back to my daily BM routine But after about 5 days or so, I had a "serious talk"and from that point on, the scale (showing me the dropping numbers) was my best friend - Don't get discouraged Sweetie, you are in the healing process - give it a little time Keep us posted !!!!!

Kittycat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I having been losing consistently since surgery, even though my surgeon said not to expect it. I am eating 25% of what I used to, so it's bound to happen. I anticipate it will slow down once I am on solid food and then my fill is just 5 days later, so we'll see. I was 268 on the day of surgery and today I am 257...YIPPEE!! Cathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cedartown Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I weighed more 2 days after surgery than i did on band date.I think it was day 4 or 5 before i got back under my band weight.I was bloated as hell. Take advantage of the liquid diet stage to take off the easy pounds.It gets much harder after day 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaMichelle Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I wasn't weighing every day after surgery but by day 7 I was down 6lbs. IT WILL HAPPEN, don't focus on the numbers focus on healing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
