I had my surgery on thursday and I got home today Saturday. After three days in the hospital my weight is up by 15 lbs.Is that normal ?. All I eat is a few oz of the clear liquet diet. Could it be from all the IV I had hooked up ?. My surgery went well and I feel good but I was suprised about the weight gain. Has anyone had the same happening to them ?.

It is totally normal to gain weight .. it IS from the fluids they pushed in the IV.      I had surgery on Tuesday - and weighed at the hospital on Thursday - up 10+ pounds.    By this morning it had come back off.

It will come off like crazy. I am approx. 8 days post op and i gained 12 lbs. but on about day five, once i started walking alot i urinated like 8 times that day and the weight was off and an additional  6 lbs since surgery. Stay with it Bro.

Gained 9 lbs here.  It is all gone and more since surgery.  Lots of folks gain due to fluids.  Your walking will help get rid of that.

Thanks for the response guys. It makes me feel alot better to know that I am not the only one. I did a lot of research before my surgery but I did not bother to check out how I would feel. Suprise suprise, weight gain bloatet dizzy loose stools ect ect. How could I not have expected this. I sure hope things get better soon.
