I was sleeved on 25 also with hiatal hernia repair. I was three days in the hospital. Glad to be home. When i started this i was 385, pre op i got to 357. I have will step on a scale tomorrow. But aways thingas are going good. Really no pain and some gas. I did the broth for a little bit but i have tried pudding,jello, yogurt, cottage cheese all surger free and low fat. I want to try the cream soup. I do the protein shakes but sometimes its hard to get all the water in. I cant wait to see all the changes.
