Thanks everyone it feels good not to take pre or post meal medications, a big relief indeed. And yes, Coopersmama you are right - British school in a former British colony !!

I was on very mild pain killers from day 2. Very tolerable, like a tummy ache actually. There is no "space" for cravings, feel full with just small portions. I am consuming about 800 cals/day, mostly protien shakes. Less of carbs. Plenty of walking and Water. All the best to you Margo.

I got sleeved on Dec 21, within 4 days my sugar levels were under control with half the original medication (Metformin). Now after 20 days, my sugar was in full control without any medication at all, the first time in 5 years. I am careful though and check it with my glucometer at least thrice a day. Of course, I do exercise and walk for about 3 miles every day. Getting rid of diabetes medication is the best thing that is happening post-sleeve as my weight loss is slow.:smile:

Hello everyone. I got sleeved on Dec 21 and in about 10 days lost over 20 pounds. But now stalling and gained 8 lbs. So from 264 I went down to 242 and am now at 251. Am on very low carbs, 80 gms protien, about 800 calories per day. Walk for over a mile a day. Am feeling very depressed since the weight gain. Hope the stall is normal. I do want to lose weight !
