Welcome...

Feel free to ask questions along your journey.
I hope your are recovering fast enough..

How aaerbear, I had my sleeve done on Oct 2 nd as well

I just had my sleeve on 09/27 at UAB in Birmingham, Alabama 35202. I was in the hospital for 2 days and it’s been 8 days I haven’t had any complications thus far.

Except for gas bubbles every now and then.

So far things have been going well, keeping track of water intake and protein is a full time job! Have gas mid chest every now and again as well.

Hello,

My surgery was on Sept 27, feeling good so far. Agree it's a full time job keeping up with Protein and H2o.... but down 15 pounds...[emoji4]

Great job Rendolly, I am 4 days post op, I have not weighed myself. I am starting to get into a routine. Glad you are having great success!

I will be your sleeve buddy. My wife and I were sleeved about 8 weeks apart. Including the preop diet and lifestyle changes prior to surgery she has lost close to 100 pounds. I was sleeved on 08-31-17 and including the preop diet I am down 45 pounds. I prefer Quest protein shakes made with almond milk. I typically make chocolate shakes and put a small amount of peanut butter in the blender with the protein powder and almond milk.

I was sleeved on Oct 4th so 5 days out. I am making my own shakes using The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes (Volume 1) for all the recipes. Because I am not on vitamins yet, I do add a packet of Carnation Instant Breakast No sugar added OR a slim fast dry packet to my shake for added nutrition. Am using Fairlife milk (much more nutrients) for the milk. The recipe book is wonderful and the shakes are delicious. I then divide the amount up into 3 cups and sip throughout the day.
