Hi everyone, I was sleeved on April 7, first couple of days were rough. I Had my gall bladder removed and Hernia repair done at the same time. I am 8 days post op and feel fantastic. I advanced to full liquids today and quite happy, strained cream soup and yogurt never tasted so good ;p

Weight at surgery was 286..this morning I weighed myself and I was 277. That is 9lbs in a week. I hope it continues to fall off nicely -

I was sleeved April 7 also and I can take in a lot of liquid too..I believe the liquid moves through your sleeve quickly and will not stretch it. I can get in 2 protein shakes, 2-3 16oz bottles of water, 2cups of broth, sugar free popsicles and tea. -

I was like that. I am now 6 days post op and I can get in 2-3 16oz bottles of water, 2 8oz cups of broth, 3 sugar free ice pops and 2-3 protein shakes. It takes me all day to get this in. I also get the pain and gurgling if I drink to fast. -

Glad your feeling good. I didn't get out of recovery until midnight, I really needed that extra day. -
I had the sleeve, gallbladder removed and a Hermia repair all done on Monday April 7. I am not going to lie..I woke up from surgery in a lot of pain. I don't know if it is because I had all three done I stayed an extra night and feeling so much better today. The gas is a killer..I had it all in my belly!

Just got my kids on the school bus and then started getting emotional. Keeping myself busy, cleaning the house and just put together a beef stew in the crock pot for their dinner later. Got my bag packed and will head out about 1:30. Best of luck to us all that are being sleeved today! -
