Sleeved 12/24 down 9 lbs

I was sleeved on 12/24 also. I don't want to brag but I've had zero issues and zero complications. No pain or reflux issues. I am healing nicely. I have progressed to pureed Soups on Friday and I went further to a full puree today. The only issue I thought I had was that I had a really big sleeve. (i had not specified what size) but I had a meatball in the blender with tom sauce and I could not finish it all. I was worried that for I could finish 8 oz of Soup in one hour that there was something wrong with the size of my sleeve but a 4oz meatball was a completely different thing. Yay! Other than that I have my 12 oz Protein shake once a day, 6 oz of greek yogurt. Usually a 14 -16 oz can of pureed soup that is higher in protein and 24 or so oz of Water or iced tea. I've lost 8lbs from my surgery weight and 20lbs since the start of the liquid diet 2 wks prior to surgery I have 8 more days like this until my f/u appointment with the surgeon.

I' sorry to see that you are having problems. I have not had any major issues. I was lucky to be done with the gas pains yesterday evening and I never really had any further pains until they removed my catheter *ouch!!*. I was released this evening at 7:00 PM... Total stay 30 hrs. I would suggest that if you are having pain, there is no reason to remain stoic. Let you nurse know and they will do their job and get you what you need. Prayers going out...

Me too and Me too but mine is at 2:00 PM..Happy Xmas..
