Re: Back from surgery with a question

June 24, 2004

Betsy,

I am sure it's due to the surgery. Your body experienced a trama and it's

hanging on to anything it can get as it's thinking that you have been harmed in

some way. I would not worry about it a bit. And anytime you have anesthetic

your body experiences a lot of changes since it was 'put to sleep'.

Glad to hear your doing so well.

Hugs,

Moe

Back from surgery with a question

Clear DayGood morning everyone. I had surgery Monday afternoon and came home

Tuesday afternoon. I am doing better than I thought I would be. Still sore

some but getting around pretty good, I think. Anyway, here is my question....I

got on the scale this morning, cheating by getting on a day early, and had a 4

pound gain. I was totally shocked because I had nothing to eat all day Monday,

only a few sips of clear liquid Tuesday and then ate very light yesterday. Is

my body just holding on to all the fluids they pumped into me. I thought for

sure I'd have a good loss this week. Hmmmmm, very discouraging. Any ideas?

Thanks.

In His Grip!

Betsy:

Take it from someone who has been there before, you haven't gained any weight.

This is all fluid & from the surgery you had. I have done the very same thing

you did, by hopping on the scales, and was shocked to learn instead of losing, I

had actually gained weight. Believe me, keep on doing all the right things &

one morning you will hop on the scales & it will all be gone, plus probably

more.

Glad to hear your surgery went so well & you are up and about so soon.
