Weight gain after surgery

[Tracey37]

When I got home today I weighed my self and I have put 6lbs back on is this normal and has anyone else had this problem x

could it be the scales are different, but it might be due to not being active and holding water etc especially as you haven't been drinking much at the moment try to drink more water it will soon come back off and loads more besides x

After my bypass op i weighed myself the day i got home and i was 7lbs heavier. Obvioulsy it was all the fluids that had been pumped into whilst in hospital. Mine took a week to come off once i was moving and going to the loo etc. it is a bit of a shock to weigh more once you get home but don't be fooled into thinking it is weight gain it is not!!

It's normal, the drip you have up is more fluid than you could possibly drink! It drains away in a few days and then the weight loss begins;-)
