I was excited and inpatient waiting. I finally had it on 1/11/21. Overall I’m doing good. I have been drinking and I’m already on phase 2 which seems fast to me. When I had the sleeve and left the hospital I was 15 pounds. As of now the scale hasn’t moved. Hoping I’m doing everything right.

I also had mine on 1/11. I have to remain on a clear liquid diet for 2 complete weeks before increasing diet. I did gain several pounds of fluid in the hospital which I have lost now. Good luck!!

everyone leaves the hospital weighing more than they did when they went in because of all the IV fluids (which I believe contain sodium, which makes retention even worse!). I've heard of people "gaining" 10 or more lbs, in fact. It can take up to a week for them to work their way out of your system. You're probably fine. Even in phase 2, you're not taking in *nearly* enough calories to maintain your current weight - I'm sure it's water.

All the diet restrictions are different. I thought I would be clear liquids for a week or two.
