Hi Ellie! I had my surgery on Monday. Stayed in the hospital until Wednesday. I can honestly say, that you can eat more with the bypass than the sleeve. When I had my sleeve, I could barely tolerate 2 ounces. Now I can do 4 oz of cream of chicken soup or an entire protein shake with no problems. The pain has been worse for me with the bypass, to the point if I am no better tomorrow, I am going to the ER.
