I was sleeved on 2/2 in Tennessee. No regrets! Recovery wasn't near as bad as I expected. Only time I cried was when I told my kids goodbye the night before and when my parents gave me a kiss before I headed back to the OR. This week I am allowed lunch meat, tuna, crackers, and cheese. So far so good. I have a problem getting near enough water and protein in daily. Celebrate vitamins make me vomit. In fact it's the only thing my sleeve has not tolerated so far. Premier protein shakes were my best friends preop and I cannot stand the taste post op so I try and get my protein in from isopure RTD (apple melon). Since my 2 week preop diet and 4 weeks post op I'm down 39 lbs! Still have a long way to go but it's a marathon not a sprint. Good luck Feb sleevers on your journey!
