Amazing! It’s great to hear this side as well thanks for sharing. I think it provides a good balance. It hasn’t been all bad for me Infact I think it’s been mostly good. The pain was intense and still comes from time to time (I’m nearly 2 weeks post op) but that’s probably because I’m doing a bit more with 4 young children. I don’t know how you’re managing to hit your protein goals. I still struggle with mine but I’m not yet at the purée stage so watch this space. Water is especially difficult to hit 700ml never mind the 1.2litres I’ve been told I need daily. I’m definitely hitting my 90 minute walking target so that’s a plus. And I am starting to feel my jeans fall so an additional yay!!

Oh dear sounds like you had a rough few days. Glad to hear it’s all mostly resolved. I only had gas Infact I still have gas and constantly fart like a trouper. Had surgery on the 11th and still struggling to hit water and general intake goals. I also had a hernia repair so maybe that’s part of it. All in all, I’m loving the new found control over food. Fingers crossed it lasts forever! All the best to you too x

Slowly feeling better thanks. Yes it hurts to drink and I’m still on the liquid phase so really struggling to get fluids up. My dietician has been nagging 😅. Looking forward to purée stage. Are you doing better with the soups?

Hi, I’m new to this site but thought I must reply when I saw your entry. I had the sleeve on the 02/11/23 and they found a hiatal hernia too and repaired it! Recovery has also been slow but it’s happening. I’m forcing myself to keep moving even though all I want to do is hug the duvet. How are you doing?
