I was sleeved on July 23rd so that makes me 10 days out. I'm down 15 lbs. I am still on mostly liquids. I've tried to eat scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes but my belly was not happy. I'm still on Protein Shakes and Water. Egg drop Soup was recommended by my nutritionist and it goes down nice. I'm not in pain but I get odd feelings now and then. I am scared to cause a leak so I'm being super careful. Yay for July sleevers!!!!

I made the same mistake, in telling my very judgmental sisters. My husband and daughters are so supportive, and are backing my decision, which they know is based on my research and speaking to others, and joining groups like this. I went to seminars, met with 3 surgeons, went to a psychologist, a nutritionist, and my general practitioner. What I got from my sisters was "I wouldn't do that if I were you." Of course they are not me, they are all under 130 lbs. They have never been fat, but they call themselves 'fat' in that annoying skinny girl kind of way. I don't listen to them, but it still hurts. You deserve support and love, which is what I told them. I didn't ask for anyone's opinion (except for my husband) so I don't need any unsolicited advice and warnings about how this person gained all their weight back and its a waste of time, you're just gonna get fat again... Some people suck. Just believe in yourself and your decision, and do your best!!!!!!!
