I was sleeved on the 9th... had a small hiatal hernia repaired at the same time. Only pain I have is at the sure where the stomach was removed. Going back to work tomorrow (one wk post). Trying a variety of high protein soups and isopure. Not sure when to start drinking after my shakes are finished, but just going by how I feel. Still can't sleep on my left side. Looking forward to puree after one more week on liquids and soups!
