Hello everyone, I was sleeved June 9th 2016, tomorrow will be one week post-op and I have my follow up with my surgeon as well. I have done well so far, my first day out of surgery I had nothing to eat or drink. The day following surgery I had sf Jello, crystal light and water; my stomach did well to hold it down. I am continuing a liquid diet for two weeks including broth, sf jello, sf popsicles and drinking lots of liquids and Protein shakes. I have only experienced soreness mainly on my left hand side in my abdominal though the pain has slowly gone away I still continue to feel discomfort while getting up from a flat surface or bending (auch). I have not experienced any nausea and try to sip at a slow pace measuring my liquids and broth as well to avoid it.

My weight loss journey has just begun and I hope my sleeve helps me regain my life back. Being able to feel healthy, with energy build up my self-esteem and dress with clothing that I desire to wear as well, with discipline and commitment anything is possible.
