Hello , I had my gastric sleeve surgery on July the 24, 2012. I weighed 314 post op and now I am 302. I am in Magnolia ,Texas outside of Houston , Texas. So I am down 12 lbs. I also had my hernia repair when the did the surgery. Lots of presser , little pain but overall doing good.

Glad things are going well for you..hoping it only gets better

Congrats on your new sleeve! Hope you have a quick recovery from surgery. I grew up in The Woodlands. I drive through Magnolia when I drive back to visit from Austin. Since you are in Texas, I have to recommend HEB Mootopia milk. This was a life saver for me post op. It has half the sugar of other milk and 12 g of protein per 8 oz. When I couldn't tolerate much, this really helped me get my protein in. I used it in my protein shakes and soups to boost protein.

hey Tex

wearing that heavy 10 gallon hat around adds to your weight, I would lose the hat for now

You are gonna be in Twounderland really soon - quite a great feeling,

i see you gleeming from ear to ear

only 3 days since WLS dealing w/a heria repair too i know we have other strong hernia survivors too - pain pressure et al - sounds like dealing with alot,

things do hurt a bit after WLS, they will get better sooner than later

you must be one strong cookie -

i digress for a minute- a few years ago i would say to my granddaughter morgan- hey cookie, or whats new cookie

she always laughed and said GRAMMY i'm not a cookie - grandparents love stuff like that

back to topic

take care of yourself, hope someone is there to help/pamper you - or you can do the pampering for yourself - who deserves it more

btw - your sleeve buddies here are always around for support and answers to questions, you gotta speak up - let us know what is going on

cookie

take care,

feel better soon
