So I'm new too so I dont have a lot of input but it's also going to depend on your preop diet. Did you have to do a liquid diet beforehand? Because once your body adjust to liquids your metabolism will slow some and if your not getting enough protein it goes into starvation mode and tries to hold onto everything. Also keep in mind depending on how long you were in the hospital they pumped you full of iv fluids. Plus all the air and gas from laparoscopic surgery. And of course depending on if your having any potty issues. And the main one is swelling and inflammation from healing. When I went in for surgery I was 266 the day I left the hospital( the next morning) I was up to 272 from all the fluids gas and inflammation. I weighed daily (I dont reccomend it, it becomes obsession) so that's why I knew how much I gained. So it might not feel like you've lost as much because of that. What everyone told me is just try to hit that protein and water goal and remember sip sip sip and walk walk walk. Take the most unflattering straight on photos of your face. You'll be shocked seeing the difference even if the scale doesnt move.

Hi...I am prepping for Aug...not scheduled yet, but I am about halfway through my appointments...
What made you decide on the sleeve? My Dr thinks I'll be better with the Duodenal Switch, so I have been researching the differences and pros/cons like mad.
