welcome aboard
seeing that you just joined our lovely group about 12 hours ago - i'll try and give you a little info PO sleeve
there is no one set answer to how much weight you will loose in 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 months etc. We all vary with our weight loss amount, how long it takes to loose "X" amount of weight.
things are different, once people have been sleeved. some people can't eat certain things, they might have a problem digesting, while others have no problems
Most docs/NUTS (NUTS = Nutritionalist) are different - one might say you can't drink from straws ever, another might say within 3 months you can use a straw.
some might say no to coffee - others say differently
one NUT might start you on full liquids sooner than another.
One NUT might tell you that you can eat or drink..a certain food/ while another NUT might tell you can't drink or eat that.
Always listen to your particular NUT/Dr. very important
we all voice our thoughts and opinions on various things, questions asked, bottom line is always listen to your doc/NUT
Typical side effects PO are nautious, vomitting, gas - not everyone experiences these problems
some people little/no pain after surgery - others might deal with some more pain
sleevers can be back to work in 3 days feeling great, others take maybe 3 weeks, others could take as long as 3 months - or all in between
Some Sleevers have great recuperation from the second they get into their room after WLS, continued good things through recovery at home too.
select few that might have minor problems, that soon turn themselves around and are better
you'll have many more questions as time approaches WLS, and then after surgery, you will have more questions again.
expect the unexpected on this wonderful trip to Sleeveland
kindof got carried away with my response to various other questions, instead of just answering your only question - oooops
called diarrhra of the keyboard
deep breathes in, then exhale too
you will enjoy your long, forever journey, to a new beging of better health, and happiness for the rest of your life -
good luck
