Ugh, I was so right, I should have avoided the scale right now. This morning it read 223--up 5 pounds! I know that is a side effect of surgery, but oh my it sounds awful. Constipation, fluids added during surgery, inflammation and inactivity are a few causes, but golly I hate seeing that number.
Today is day 2 post-op. I managed to shower this morning and eat some yogurt for breakfast. I am also trying to get lots of liquids in today. Still hurting a bit so I am continuing my Vicodin--my pain relief friend. I think it may also cause some constipation issues. I am hoping to take a little walk later and get some much needed movement.
Wait a week before you check again! It is from the surgery. They've pumped you full of fluids! Hope you feel better and better each day.
ReplyDeleteYes, Vicoden has that effect on me, for sure.
ReplyDeleteYah surgery will whack the scale out big time. REst up!
ReplyDeleteI went up nearly five pounds after my gallbladder surgery. (I was right about your weight too, at the time.) It will come back off promptly as long as long as you do whay you're supposed to do w/r to eating! :)
