Never in a million years did I expect to see Wildomar on this forum! I'm in Temecula and just had my sleeve done on 8/14 in Poway. Best of luck to you!

Thank you neighbor! How are you doing 2-1/2 weeks out?

9/25/2017 for me!!!

Doing pretty well all things considered. The first 10 days were rough- exhaustions, some pain, getting enough liquids in. Now, I have pretty much no pain at all unless I overdo it on housework. I just get really tired really fast.

I'm tolerating liquids and purrees/soft foods well. Haven't had any real nausea and no reflux or anything.

It took me a few tries to settle on a protein drink I could get down the first couple weeks, but now I am far less sensitive. It's amazing how quickly the body changes and adjusts. I'm down 20 lbs from my surgery date. It's kinda crazy.

Keep in touch and let me know how your surgery goes. You can PM me with any questions and I'd be happy to answer.

Thank you so much for the support! I will definitely check in with you. I appreciate your honesty on your early discomfort. Good to hear you've turned that corner and feeling better! My doctor pre-op and hospital pre-registration appointments are both this Tuesday. The butterflies are starting to set in....

09/20 for me!
