6 days post-op. Feeling great. No problems or issues. Good luck to all those who are getting sleeved this week.

I am also day 6 postop. No pain, nausea or other issues. Making my protein goal (it takes awhile) and fluid goals. I feel like I am constantly sipping something and am full. But otherwise feel pretty darn good!
