Today marks my one week post gastric sleeve surgery and I could not be happier! I am down 12 pounds this week. I am doing well getting 64 ounces of fluid in a day in reaching my goal of between 30 and 40 g of protein. I have been drinking the Premier protein shakes which are 30 g of protein and only 1 g of sugar. And then also I live on chicken and beef broth because I love it! I eat a lot of Popsicles and Jell-O neither of which are sugarfree base on my physician stating I needed a little bit of the sugar for the carbohydrates, as I am a diabetic. Or at least I was a diabetic before the surgery we will see how it goes. 12 pounds can truly make a huge difference as you can see from the picture below

The first picture was taken in a week before surgery the second was taken this morning!

Good job! Getting all your fluids in can be hard

Way to go! Good luck with your journey!

How many days did it take you before you could return to work? I am considering the surgery, but I just started a new job about 8 months ago and I don't want to be out too long. I have an office job with no manual labor, would it be possible to have surger on a Friday and return to work on Monday?

You look gorgeous! My surgery is July 14th i have to do all liquids 10 days before...did you have to do that? was it torturous?

You look beautiful!

How long did it take for you to be able to get all of your fluids in? I'm only day 2, and I am still having so much trouble getting it in

I had the same issue, 10 month. Had VSG on 6/7 was back at work 6/16. Scheduled back 6/14. And then only for 4 hours. It was a lot harder for me than I thought. It took me awhile to bounce back. I still have my job but would definitely wait. If you're worried I would schedule it for a Friday or Monday at you 1 year anniversary, when hopefully you get a week off.
