I was September 17th. After the first week of nearly being put in ICU for dehydration and battling a UTI I'm starting to feel normal again. I've had a battle keeping down protein but today a friend that had the sleeve done at the being of the year suggested adding 1tbs to 2 tbs of pb2 powder to my protein shakes. Needless to say...I kept it down and boy did it feel wonderful. I was getting tired of Popsicles.
