Miters36 0 Posted January 29, 2012 totally normal! No worries. I gained like 8lbs from the fluids and gas. It all came off and I lost 100lbs in 6 months. From March 15th,2011 to Sept.,2011. I've been somewut "messing around" thses last few months so I do indeed have about 30-40lbs to my goal, but I'm back on track now and already down 7 mor pounds in a week. It will come, be patient. you did the right thing by getting the sleeve. I LOVE mine and would do it again if i had to. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rahnava 30 Posted February 4, 2012 I was sleeved this past Monday and I am bloated and swollen. I really need to watch my sodium intake from the broth. I am relieved to see that this is a temporary thing. I was worried that I messed it up by licking that teaspoon of hummus. I am a little paranoid right now.

firstday 7 Posted February 5, 2012 I was also sleeved Jan 24th. I had bought broth from the supermarket and it contained 480 mg of sodium/1 cup serving. I went out to buy a whole roasting chicken and boiled it. It made 2 large containers of broth which taste much better than store bought. And I'm sure less sodium. My weight on the day of surgery was 210 lbs. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
