Hi! I had the sleeve done last week, 4/7. Things are going well so far...I think! See my surgeon on Wednesday, hope he agrees. I'd love to find a local buddy or not so local ???? on line works too. Just want to be set up for success!

Hi! April 7th as well. How's it going?

Hi. Sleeve was done on 4/7/14. Overall, my experience has been good. However, one rough spot has been tolerating whey protein - found in my clear liquid Isopure drinks and main source of protein during the liquid phase. By day 3 I'd developed such a sensitivity to it, it would literally go in one side and out the other. After 24 hours I called my surgeon. He told me to switch my protein source from whey to animal. I was shocked to learn I should cook a bunch of chicken and purée it down to soup consistency so soon! I could also try a scrambled egg. So far, tolerating these thing well, plus small curd cottage cheese and Greek yogurt blended to smooth. Physically, I feel good. Today is one week out! I have no real pain except at one incision site when I move a certain way. That pain is wicked but super short. Looking forward to feeling better each week!
