Hello!!
I don't want to give out a lot of personal information but i wanted to come on here in the buddies section to hopefully find some friends around my age that are going through the same thing as me. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually an 18 year old with the mind of a 70 year old cat lady. We can chat about progress, encourage each other in like, I dunno, a group chat! (because lord have mercy on my lazy soul I NEED encouragement) I don't mind friending older people, please dont think thats how im trying to come off. I figure a lot of older people wouldn't want to hear about my ridiculous youth antics haha! I'm also seeking people on the internet because my program everyone is 30+. I do believe i'm the only one in my group without my tubes tide.
Ya know if not, it's fine,

Hi everyone,
My surgery was June 27. Feeling pretty good but very head hungry. I'm still on liquids and doing okay except that I can't get all the Protein in. My Water intake is going strong.
I do have a question for you all. After the initial 4 weeks, when can I eat salads and peanuts? I'm craving peanuts and salad seem to be a quick option when on the run.
Any New Mexicans out there? Our chile is very different from what some are used to and green chile season is just around the corner. Will this be okay for me to eat?

Well, after years of research, I finally did it! As of June 23 I am a member of the Sleeve Family! The first night after surgery was rough, not going to lie. The gas is the worst part. At this point, I'm three days out and I feel fairly close to normal. As far as incision pain goes, it's rare and minimal. All I can say is, WALK. Walk more than you want to and more than you think you should. You're going to want to lay there or sleep the whole time. Walking is one of the only ways to get the gas moving and out of your system. If possible, try to have a good support system to walk with you. My dad went with me and I'm so grateful for a familiar and loving face. My gas pain is still not 100% gone but I feel so much better than the first day. It will get better with time! Just wanted to post my experience for those who are considering the surgery but are on the fence. No regrets here!

Glad to hear everything is going well!!! I'll be getting my surgery June 29th!!! Only a couple more days!

Are you back to work or when will you be?

Congratulations! Now that you're a surgery veteran, it's time to start sharing in the POST-Operation forum!

My surgeon actually wanted to give me a video of the entire procedure. I opted out of that one haha
