Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Soft Foods
So yesterday I was able to start soft foods. The first thin I tried was scrambled eggs. It felt soooo good to actually chew something. I took my time and chewed my food well. It took me about 30 minutes to get half of it eaten, but I felt like I had eaten a plate full of food. I waited 15 minutes and tried to sip on some water. That was a chore in itself. Today, I'm having vegetable soup. We'll see how that goes. :-)
Back to work!!!
I went back to work today. To be honest, I really could have gone back last Thursday, but I promised my mother I would take a week off. Let me give you a few stats:
Highest weight - 258.8
Pre-op - 243.6
Current Weight - 237.8
I have yet to have any problems at all. As a matter of fact, my energy level has shot thru the roof and my ankles haven't been swollen in over a week. While I was in the hospital, the nurses kept asking me why I was walking so fast. All I know is that my God is awesome. I started back on my protein shakes today. I've struggled just to get one down (24oz). Hopefully, I can get one more in before bed. I've had about 32oz of water so far. That's a total of 56oz of liquids so far.
I took pictures in the hospital, but I'm not quite bold enough to post them yet. :-)

I decided to do the sleeve because I want be able to keep up with my girls and because my Lupus is taking a toll on my body. I finished required 7 month doc appointments the last week of June, went to support group at the end of July and received approval the first week of August.
It's been a long journey, but it was sooo worth it. My surgery was quick. I had had no nausea and almost no gas. I say this because I want to encourage all future sleevers to have positive attitude. Ask God to touch and anoint all who will participate in your procedure. Believe me when I tell you, God's got you.
I'll post pictures later.
