Absolutely! I had the sleeve and a hernia repair. The hernia repair was more painful than my sleeve incisions. It felt very tight to swallow for about 10 days. I drank Water constantly even just the tiniest sips at a time so I wouldn't get dehydrated. I had to do 2 weeks of liquids just after my surgery and that was the toughest part. I just wanted to chew something and I really recognized how addicted to food I really was.
Week 3 I had a stall and stayed at the same weight. It was hard but I tried to focus on my clothes and things feeling loose. Now I'm back to losing again and I feel amazing. I truly eat now just because I know I need to not because it tastes good or helps me de-stress. I have more energy and more confidence especially at work. People can noticeably tell and that's a nice confidence booster. I'm on mushy foods for the next 2 weeks and it's going good.
All in all it was hard immediately after but I had great care, good pain meds and tons of love and support from my friends and family. I'm really grateful I did this. It has truly changed my life.
Good luck with your surgery - you'll do awesome!
