I had the sleeve surgery 21/2 years ago I have since gained 10 lbs very upset I can't seem to loose it no matter what CAN I resume the protein Shakes for about 3 months, and will my insurance pay for it I now have MEDICARE SSDI

IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE MY SURGERY(SLEEVE) FEEL GOOD BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT, STILL ON SOFT FOODS, AND 2 shakes A DAY food DOES NOT ATTRACT ME AND I COOK FOR MY HUSBAND REGULAR FOOD. IS THIS NORMAL? HOW SOON CAN I GO BACK TO WORK I DO CNA WORK AT A NURSING HOME, DR SAID I CAN'T LIFT MORE THAN 50LBS FOR A WHILE

HOW LONG AFTER SURGERY DOES SWELLING LAST? IT'S BEEN 11 DAYS SINCE SURGERY STILL TAKES ME OVER 1/2 HR TO EAT 2-3 OZ OF CREAMED FOOD, "IT" DOES NOT HURT WHEN SWALLOWING BUT DO GET FULL AFTER 2 OR 3 TEASPOONFULS, IS THIS NORMAL?? DOES OR DID ANY ONE EXPERIENCE THIS??

HEY THERE!! WISHING YOU A SPEEDY RECOVERY, I WAS SLEEVED ON MAY 14TH,2014, I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH GAS NOR DRINKING ALL THE AMTS REQUIRED, BUT NOW I NOTICE IT TAKES ME LONGER THAN 45 MINS TO EAT 2/3 OZ OF CREAMED FOOD CAUSE I FEEL FULL RIGHT AWAY BUT HAVE NO TROUBLE SWALLOWING IS JUST THAT I GET FULL AND HAVE TO WAIT

My Doctor told me no alcohol/beer till 9 months after :(
