Hi. I was sleeved June 8. I was down (pre-and post-op) from 310 to 282. Then the last 3 days I've gained weight. Now I'm 286. I have my one week follow up appointment today, but should I be concerned about weight gain? I'm following their instructions and diet...

Definitely no need to worry. Your body is healing and recovering from a lot of trauma. There could be any number of causes of temporary weight gain, the most likely of which is water retention due to internal swelling. I can guarantee you that you aren't gaining pounds of actual fat right now!

Thank you. I needed to hear that today!

I had my surgery on the 8th too, how are you doing with your liquid intake? Protein?

I'm doing well on both I think. I started tracking everything 2 days ago, and I've been just over 100g Protein. I've been drinking shakes and protein Water. They said if it has water in it, it counts as water. So on that basis (16oz Protein drinks, etc) I'm hitting 70oz or so.

And good luck with your sleeve! Every day I wake up feeling a little better
