Hi there. I had my gastric sleeve op on the 13th of April. I lost 7kgs on the shake diet and then another 2 whilst in hospital. I have been home for a week now and there has been no loss on my scales at all. It is a bit disheartening but I am wondering if it could be because my body is retaining the fluids. Has anyone else had the same experience and if so, did this change once you went onto the 'mushy' (for want of a better word :-) ) diet.

Consider yourself lucky... I came home from the hospital almost 10 pounds heavier than when I went in. IV fluid did me in... It took almost a week for me to lose it.... Be patient, the weight will come off

Same here, was all the way up to 288 (6 pound gain) at one point at the hospital.

Can't deviate from the premise though, especially so soon. Keep up with protein, water, vitamins, etc.
