I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 3/27. Of course I was nervous! Looking back now..I am the happiest I have been in years. I am down almost 50 pounds in two months! No pain.....Of course, each person is different. My appetite is nothing like it use to be. I eat smaller portions. Protein!! You will do fine! I am looking forward to golfing, because this is the first time in years, I will be able to see the ball on the tee!
