So I just had one single 5% ABV hard cider that totally knocked me on my ass ????. I got sleeved 4 months ago and I keep forgetting how quickly a little bit of alcohol will affect me. Not to mention that, since I've dropped 50 pounds now, my tolerance is a lot lower. And the sleeve makes the alcohol get into my bloodstream so easily. It's nice to be a cheap date and avoid the extra calories I used to consume by drinking a lot, but it still surprises me sometimes. How does everyone else deal with drinking post-sleeve?

Soup is a great idea. And any kind of soft fish! Good luck!

Yay! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to feel what you're feeling in a few months.

Salmon was actually one of the first solid foods I ate after the surgery! It went really well for me. That being said, I've had an easier time than most other people when it comes to tolerating foods. Just go slow and listen to your body as you eat. Good luck!

Hey, we're surgery twins! But yeah, not a painless procedure like some people are saying. Just get lots of rest and try to have as much protein as you can to promote healing. Good luck! We'll get through this. I have to believe it's worth it.

I just had my surgery yesterday, and I've experienced quite a bit of pain . It's all been bearable with the meds they gave me in the hospital and the codeine I've had since I got home, but I'm definitely feeling pain from the gas and from the incisions. Walking around actually helps a lot. It comes and goes in waves. I'm pretty confident the pain will go away in the next few days.
