12 days out, gained 2 lbs.!!!

[mnbsleeve 87]

Hi all,

I'm on liquids!!! just 12 days out!!! Feel great. Getting in all my Proteins (mostly my MD approved shakes and broths with proteing - nothing fancy). I'm getting in well over 80 oz. of fluids daily. I've been loosing weight since a few days after surgery. Two days ago I went up two pounds and there I am. I'm hoping this is normal. I'd hate to be the one person on the planet that gains with a sleeve. Should I be stalling/gaining so soon?!?!? I don't feel bloated, nor that I'm retaining fluids. Any thoughts?!?!?

I was stalled at 2 - 6 weeks. It is really common and is probably just Water weight. You have to consume 3500 calories to gain a lb. and there is no way you are near that. Dont get discouraged. It will move, your body is just getting used to what you are putting it through.
