I've been reading your posts for a week now and decided to introduce myself.

My name is webtrekker and I had my sleeve done June 4th at kaiser in L.A. by Dr. Zelada.

I had a two day stay, I couldn't keep the liquid pain meds down. Never could I hate the taste of them.

I started out at 280 at the begining of classes and got down to 267 day of surgery. I am now at 243 at one month.

My surgery was performed due to me having been in an accident that damaged my back and the weight is putting too much pressure on everything.

I have been having issues with the puree'd stage. Nothing will stay down so I have gone back to liquid stage to reboot. Today is a good day. Water staying down (check), Soup staying down (check) protien shake staying down (check), did I mention I'm very full?

thank you for all the posts in here they have been very helpful.
