stitches are stitch less .......sorry wrong computer correction

Sorry my stitches are Stitches...

Ive never heard of external staples... tape ..drain pipes etc...I have none of the above... my small cuts are stitches...I used castor oil fr the marks n at 5weeks they're almost gone.

My BMI was 30 but I had a host of medical issues and wanted to lose that extra weight.I am 12 days post op and have lost 20lbs. I am still on liquids and don't like hot liquids generally so no tea coffee soups etc...I did try soup but my body doesn't take too kindly to it. So I stay on juice ,fresh lime water and water. I'm doing good n happy with my weight loss.Don't feel hungry at all. What I found whilst reading posts here was that the protocol you all follow is very different from us here in India. We have absolutely no fat source and very little crabs in our diet so I feel the weight loss is generally much more.

Ive been reading all the posts where everyone talks about pain. I had a completely zero pain or discomfort surgery 5 days ago. The only pain I felt was the needle they put in for anesthesia.

I had my gastric sleeve on the 29th so I am now 5 days post op. My surgery was completely painless ,not even mild discomfort. I went home the next evening. I'm on the prescribed strained liquid diet with no source of fat or added sugar. My sugar levels are normal after nearly 5years. I have lost 5.5kgs which is 12 pounds. My scars are stitch less and are healed. I have no reflux or acidity problems..I don't feel hungry and I'm doing great so far.
