week two is today lost another 7 lbs this week down about 41lbs in 4 weeks i have been eating some mushies just couldnt do anymore of protien shakes last week, i had some egg salad went well until i didnt know when i was full had some nasty pain for a few minutes. i have found u have to take bites and than wait a minute or two between and do not drink with eating. i was pretty weak the last few days tired etc. although today i ate 4-5 times and felt well. drinking liquids seems easy can almost drink normal i feel. there seems no way to cheat and im not thinking that way i like the tool makes you enjoy what ur eating. i really want to get back to the gym but gonna wait a little longer to sustain good energy

today is day 7 from beeing sleeved by dr kim things are improving every day biggest notice is less gas, ive started eating alittle soup cant believe how full iget quickly and my stomach lets me know. feeling good though, the smells from good found does make me fell like i want to eat some, but i just fight it it passes my energy is about 70% i say im back to work.

this is day 6 since my surgery , i have to say im feeling pretty normal , my biggest complaint is some gas pains still from time to time especially sleeping. i get a good 5-6hrs of straight sleep and im owoken by the gas than walk a little or some gas x and back to bed ive lost another11bs since last monday, im a little hungry mentally at times, i seem to be geting my 50-60grams of protien with some skim milk. so far so good .

i was sleeved yesterday b y DR Kimm in dallas , when i woke out of surgery i was in some moderate pain and sore some. really nothin over the top. last nigth i was having trouble urinating some and you cant drink for 24 hrs or so . this morning i had my leak and swallow test that went well the stuff u drink is absolutely terrible "sorry" i started drinking shot cups with water this morning that went really well.i felt today at one point like i hadnt even had surgery! i actually left the hospital at 3 pm today and im home restin, i have some discomfort now my new stomache is kinda rowling i believe that walking alot today and last night paid off big time you gotta get the gas outta there, also i followede my 2 week pre-op very closely ive lost 25lbs allready. i will keep you in touch
