Hi Lise,

I'm 28, got my sleeve 12/20 so upper end of the 20s but still! And ofc living in Philly.

Cool. So how do you think you're fairing so far? I'm like scared about that five year mark.

so far okay. Having issues with a metallic taste in my mouth messing with my ability to consume my shakes (makes me gag!). I'm a little too focused in the now to worry about five years ahead, I think. Especially since I'm so very much in the beginning of my journey.

However, I do know a girl about 2.5 years out from bypass and another 3 years out from sleeve and both are doing very well.

That's good. I'm like starved right now, but everything hurts including Jello. So I can't wait to get to the next stage.

I couldn't tolerate Jello at allllll. the first liquid after Water I tolerated well was cream of mushroom Soup. even broth was hit or miss.

gl, it'll stop hurting on some things soon and....start on others lol but we'll get there.

Yes lol. I'm bout to order chewable Vitamin c and d, because ww3 happens every time I swallow those things. I couldn't find them in the store because they were either chocolate or gummies. So I was able to find it online at swansonvitamins, thank goodness! I think I'm switching to pudding and see how that goes.
