I had vertical sleeve gastrectomy 3 days ago on April 26th.

The first day was quite painful for me, but they confirmed I had no staple leaks and sent me home.

These last past 2 days have been a steady improvement day by day, less abdominal pain, diminishing acid reflux, and I have been tolerating the protein powders and liquids of the "liquid phase".

I just watched the helpful videos of a YouTuber https://www.youtube.com/user/OneLifetoSleeve/videos

If anyone finds this message, if you have any other supportive discoveries you've made that you would like to share, I would really appreciate them.

This is hard. Some support would feel nice.

How are you doing now?

The first 3 days were hard. I have settled into liquid foods and really feel much better now 9 days out. Of course I shouldn't base my views of the future on what things are like now. Thanks for at least asking how I am. The intent of the requests was to find more helpful video stories like the one I mentioned above. I am a little less than a month away from the next monthly meeting of my surgery clinics support group which i am looking forward to attending (if not wishing there was something more frequent to rely on)
