3 days out & doing great!

I'm so excited to be able to post on the post-op side of things!!! I spent one night in the hospital and then went home. Yesterday, my first full day at home, I drank 78oz of liquid, including 48mg of Protein. Truthfully, I was a bit scared to go home & be on my own but I truly worried for nothing. My doc told me to drink as much as I was comfortable with, so that's exactly what I did. He said that liquid couldn't stretch the sleeve. I do get a little gassy when I swallow, but that's normal & I don't even have to sip. It is difficult to drink without getting some air in, but its really not bad! I just pray that this continues without complication.

I feel so sorry for those who are having post-op problems. Hang in there...it'll be soooo worth it!!!

These pics are the morning of surgery. I can't wait to post after pics!!!

Good luck, all!!!

    Isn't it fantastic! I also had no issues when I came home and haven't had problems with any food items as I've added them back. Best wishes for a continued smooth recovery ????
