  14. I had my sleeve on 4/4 I am having a really easy time getting 60 grams of protein in not to good with the water and I am normally a water drinker. I put crystal light in it but I am struggling. I had 48 oz is that ok per day until I can get more in . I know they are both important but what is more important. I an on clear liquids for the next 2 weeks. I have not really had anything else but water and protein. I really do feel great otherwise
  15. I agree I know this is a personal choice and everything of about perspective but to cut out half your stomach for 30lbs is drastic. good luck with your decision
  16. I did not have staples but when they removed the drain it was a weird feeling pressure. it came out fast. how come you had staples. I had foot surgery and when they took out the staples it did not hurt
  17. I have not told anyone at work except my.bff who told me everyone was concerned about me. I was going to use the gallbladder one but then thought what if it really does need to come out. I like the hernia one. I was going to day a cyst on the overy. but I am going with the hernia. thanks

  21. just wondering when everyone noticed their first big weight loss. I had my surgery on 4/4 and I think I lost about 7lbs. I have been able to get in. all the protein I like, the premier shakes and the water but have not eaten anything. I am on clear liquids until 4/20 then mushies. just curious when I can see my first big loss. thanks for s all your support. I do not regret doing it for one minute. the pain has been very minimal not taking any meds
  22. you look beautiful be proud
  23. I am on clear liquids for 2 weeks then 2 weeks full then pureed had surgery 4/4
