Weight loss after surgery.
Posted , 5 users are following.
I weighed myself the night before surgery and again 5 days later when I got home and my weight was identical. I have read that the replacement hip adds more weight than is taken away in bone weight. The replacement weighs 3-5 pounds so it is common to lose weight in the hospital but weight the same.
I am now 3 weeks post op and have lost 9 pounds. Even though my activity level has been very low I am still losing weight. I thought I was eating well but still havent gotten my full appetite back since surgery.
Has anyone else experienced this?

"The parts weigh about 3 to 5 pounds. The bone removed during hip replacement weighs a little less. So, you may gain a few pounds of body weight as a result of hip replacement surgery."
