Yeah, when a plant is getting used to full sun, most of the leaves it has will die. The wise thing would be to slowly leave it out more and more over time, as it will suffer more if you instantly put it out. I did it with my sarracenia purpurea, but it turned out fine. After a while, it will put out leaves that are accustomed to lots of light.
