One month post op and everything is going great. Down 32 pounds and really no problems at all. Eating 3 small meals a day and sometimes yogurt or fruit in between and no problem with being hungry. Making sure to get Protein in and taking Vitamins and supplements per Dr.'s orders. Hope everyone else is doing as well.

Started Week 3 Soft/Pureed Foods today and everything is going great. I've been fortunate to have a great recovery with absolutely no problems. No trouble getting the little bit of soft food down that my sleeve will hold and don't go beyond the bite when I know my sleeve is filled. It's really good to eat something somewhat solid after 3 weeks of liquids. Was down 23 pounds (25% of excess weight) one week post op and not weighing again until one month follow up with Dr. Wagner. Not really county calories since I can only eat small amounts at meal time anyway and eating the right foods when I do eat. Hope everyone else is doing well.

Day 2 post op for me and everything is good. Only pain I've had was severe chest pain after surgery for the gas they pump in. Walking soon and often help with that. A little sore but no pain at home, but, that might change when I take the numbing drip off on Thursday. I have liquid pain med for that if it happens. No trouble swallowing sips of liquids. Actually left the hospital feeling as good as the day I went in. Hoping that lasts.

I've been researching Vitamins and supplements for post op use since getting my surgery approved and date set. Most reliable comparisons seem to point to Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage and opurity as being the top three recommended and trusted brands for Gastric Sleeve Patients. I want a quality product that I can take with confidence so I will be using one or a combination of these brands for my long term use. I received sample packs with a good assortment of Vitamins and supplements from Celebrate and Bariatric Advantage so I can try them and decide which taste and work best for me. Opurity only sends samples to medical offices but they do offer a sample pack for purchase.

Surgery is in 18 days and I am still researching all I can about Gastric Sleeve Surgery. The more I research the more I am convinced that Gastric Sleeve is the right surgery for me. I have no doubts and am looking forward to surgery and post op.

June 30th for me. Looking forward to it.

My surgery has been approved and scheduled for June 30th. I did much research before deciding on the Gastric Sleeve and the more I research the more I am convinced I made the right decision. Bariatricpal.com has been an extremely helpful site in my research on bariatric surgeries and the posts are very encouraging. While I believe I am well educated on the Gastric Sleeve I continue to try and learn more so I purchased The Big Book on Gastric Sleeve yesterday and am finding it a very good read loaded with great information.
