Sleeved on 03/21 down 19 lbs. From the day after surgery (Thursday) until Sunday, I felt awful and couldn’t tolerate anything beyond sips of Water. Since Monday I have been feeling a bit better each day and have been trying different purées.
Right now if I have more than a spoon of food at a time, I get a little kick back from stomach telling me it’s too much. I can also feel the food travel down into my stomach, which is uncomfortable but hoping it gets better over the next few weeks.

You're very welcome.
No, I haven't experienced any major longterm side effects or any complications. The only thing I need to be careful with is having too much to eat (I won't be in excruciating pain or anything severe, but will feel unpleasantly full) or having hot liquids like coffee too soon after eating. I began drinking with meals a few months post-op, in moderation, without any issues except for Hot Drinks. And I also resumed drinking coffee, in moderation, a few months post-op. I normally have iced coffee, but when that hasn't been available, I've had it hot. When we were on vacation I had a larger brunch than typical, and my coffee had been forgotten about by the server and then finally brought right at the end of the meal, hot. I drank it all too fast and got sick for a couple of hours. That's it. I was ready to go zip lining by the afternoon.

Hi everyone,
Long time reader, first time post. I am a 33 year old male with a BMI of 33 considering sleeve surgery. Other than having ulcerative colitis which is under control, I am a relatively healthy individual but have had weight issues my entire life. In addition, I have a bad family history of heart disease (both parents had heart attacks in their 40s andbypass surgeries in their 60s) and diabetes. With the arrival of my first child, I have naturally begun thinking more about the future and honestly freaked out about the future. I have been considering gastric sleeve surgery with my main motivation being to hopefully avoid some of these issues my parents have had. I met with a surgeon in my area who has said I am a 'perfect candidate' for the surgery but would love to hear the perspectives of anyone who has had the surgery not necessarily for immediate weight loss but more so to avoid future complications in life.
Thanks everyone in advance for your advice!
