I had the sleeve on Dec 20th. Still at home recovering. I am 52 yrs old so I did not expect to heal as quickly or lose the weight as some of the younger people I know who had this surgery. Altogether including the dieting before surgery I have lost 22 pounds. I am on soft foods now. I was starving and in misery when I was on liquids including full. Feel fine now on soft. 1 small Protein based meal lasts me for 4-5 hours. I measure my food because I will keep eating until whatever I have is gone so it is important to make sure I control my portions. After years of dieting I can usually eyeball the amounts without measuring but I am being extra cautious now. How does one get that nifty banner that shows weight loss and amount left to lose? I had extreme nausea in the hospital but is was from the morphine they gave me. I was able to self administer it but refused to ever push the button so they gave me oral pain medication and after the morphine they gave me wore off so did the nausea.
