Hello fellow sleevers

phoruiz11
WORTH IT
So it has been 1 month and about 3 weeks since I had my surgery. Everything went good. I was doing good the first couple of weeks and than my energy level went down really bad, I don't know why, but everything is better now. I did get a little depressed for a quick second there, do to the food issue. Its crazy how much you will miss food, but good in a way, I don't over eat ever, because if I do I will get this crazy pain in my stomach and ill feel like I have to throw up. TMI I know but other than that lifes been good so far.

Pre-op weight:262
Current weight: 226 ;))))

So i am 1 day out from being sleeved. When i came in the took my weight which was 250 lbs. Yay. So im doing good so far. No nausia thank god. Am walking around as much as possible, they have me drinking Isopure here at the hospital its not so bad. Definitely on pain meds, that i do have, pain. Not really really bad, but pain none the less. Pain is mostly around the insicion where they took the stomach out n gas pains also. Doc will be discharging me tomorrow, and we will be going from there. Im very ichy also, must be from all the pain meds. Pain is starting to subside though. Hopefully by tomoorow, it feels much better. Ill put more pics down assoon as feel better. No regrets.

So yesterday I saw the anesthesiologist, just to talk about what they will be doing. I have 3 more days of the Full Liquid diet and the last 2 days will be my Clear Liquid diet. I have lost 8 lbs so far. Its been really hard on this liquid diet. I did cave and ate a soup on Sunday the 24th but, im pretty sure it wont effect anything but now it is getting easier to deal with as im able to control my cravings, only because I now see the numbers going down on the scale :).

pre-op weight 262

well I can have 2 cups of vegetables and or salad during my liquid diet, but no meats, milk or starches. Hopefully it goes fast lol.

I cant have anything solid, just my Protein shakes, clear liquids, and yogurt. That's pretty much it.
