Surgery Date - January 5, 2016 Down: 81 pounds

@Victoryw... My surgeon was Dr. Eliot Sieloff as well. Hope all went well for you!

Hi Everyone... Happy to have found this forum for Tallahassee sleevers. I am 5 months post op - sleeved 1/5/16 and down 70 lbs. I chose the sleeve over bypass because after years of research and knowing personally 2 bypass patients and their recovery I felt the sleeve overall would be less invasive and yield the results that I'm looking for long term. Very happy with my decision!

I had surgery on 1/5/16... 12 days post op. I've lost 21 pounds thus far. Still have slight pain in left side where stomach was removed. Wanting to try something new instead of Water, yogurt, popsicles and Protein shakes. No hunger at all but I make myself eat and drink to try to get 60 g protein and at least 40 oz liquid in daily, I do okay with liquids normally but the protein I haven't been able to reach yet. Any suggestions?
