What A Difference A Day Makes!

[Comstock 13]

Greetings November Sleevers.....

I've had some difficulty getting enough liquids and Proteins, but today is the 4th day and everything seems to be settling down. My sleeve feels pretty comfortable and I'm moving around pretty normally.

I didn't have any difficulty finishing my 30g Protein Drink this a.m. and am sipping a nice chai latte now. Feels pretty normal. Not hungry, and feeling much more like I will be "myself" soon.

But, get ready for this: I went downstairs to weigh myself this a.m. because I am/was convinced I must have dropped a few pounds since I went in the hospital. I have GAINED 4 lbs! I know it must be Fluid retention, no BM yet, but it was a shock, I have to tell you. I have barely eaten anything (maybe 400 calories/day?) so I wasn't expecting this. I am not alarmed but I am shocked. Has anyone else experienced a weight gain after coming home? Jeez.

Thats probably because of all the fluids they give us in the hospital. i would suggest waiting a week and then weigh again. you wont be disappointed!

Glad you are feeling so well!

Yes, I'm sure you are right Tink22. I just wasn't expecting and am not panicking. I'll give it a few more days!!!

I didn't weigh myself because I read that a lot of people gain while in the hospital. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Try to wait a week or so before you weigh again if you can.
