Hi! April 7th as well. How's it going?

Hi! I had the sleeve done last week, 4/7. Things are going well so far...I think! See my surgeon on Wednesday, hope he agrees. I'd love to find a local buddy or not so local ???? on line works too. Just want to be set up for success!

Hi. Sleeve was done on 4/7/14. Overall, my experience has been good. However, one rough spot has been tolerating whey protein - found in my clear liquid Isopure drinks and main source of protein during the liquid phase. By day 3 I'd developed such a sensitivity to it, it would literally go in one side and out the other. After 24 hours I called my surgeon. He told me to switch my protein source from whey to animal. I was shocked to learn I should cook a bunch of chicken and purée it down to soup consistency so soon! I could also try a scrambled egg. So far, tolerating these thing well, plus small curd cottage cheese and Greek yogurt blended to smooth. Physically, I feel good. Today is one week out! I have no real pain except at one incision site when I move a certain way. That pain is wicked but super short. Looking forward to feeling better each week!
