Weigh GAIN after surgery???
Hello Sisters,
I had DH/BSO on Friday and was home yesterday. Stepped on the scale expecting to have lost a few pounds, but shocked to see I had GAINED 10 pounds between Friday morning and Saturday evening! I know I had a lot of fluids pumped in and am feeling bloated, but....yikes!
Has anyone else experienced?
Thanks and happy healing to all!

Re: Weigh GAIN after surgery???
I gained 12 right after my surgery due to IV fluids. It took a couple of weeks but it went away!!

Re: Weigh GAIN after surgery???
I put on 10lbs over the course of a year after my Hyst. I did nothing different.
Obviously not having ovaries and the loss of estrogen plays a role in weight gain among other things.

Re: Weigh GAIN after surgery???
I'm three weeks in and I KNOW I'm going to gain weight. Think about it... you're sitting on your *** all day, day after day for weeks on end, you can't really exercise and you're eating (well me anyway) twice a day like normal. I've been trying to figure out what to do since I've never dieted before. I feel like maybe I should fast every other day or something. Defo not looking forward to it and I CAN'T WAIT to get to yoga again. I'd give anything to do a real, hard, long cat stretch in the morning.

Re: Weigh GAIN after surgery???
Glad to hear of your subsequent "loss"! I'm hoping I'll experience that too.

Re: Weigh GAIN after surgery???
I joined a weight loss group 2 days before I had my emergency surgery. I came home from the hospital a few pounds lighter. I was hemorrhaging the day I had my surgery so I was anemic when I first came home. Because of this I waited 3 weeks before starting my new eating plan. I have lost 9 lbs so far (3 mos). I have done this plan before about 10 years ago (I've played with the same 25 lbs since childbearing) and the weight came off somewhat easier then. I think it is a little harder to lose weight now but I am determined I am getting down to my goal weight and this time I am going to stay on the maintenance program to avoid gaining it all back again!
Bottom line is I think it is mind over matter and we will gain weight if we convince ourselves that we will.
PS On this plan (which is a weight loss center that is local to where I live) I eat 5 oz of lite ice cream every day and still lose 1 - 2 pounds a week.

Re: Weigh GAIN after surgery???
I gained 8 lbs when I came home from hospital, I'm not too worried about it for the moment just eating extra fibre and doubling up on my water intake
I figure when I start feeling better I can get back to my fitness regime.
