Hello All, new to this site. I am a 41yr old male, 6'3". HW 445 SW 430 CW 389. I hade gastric sleeve surgery July 31st, 2017. I lost 15 pounds pre surgery eating 1000 calories a day for two weeks. Post surgery I consumed 4oz of broth 3x's daily for the first three days and then switched to 4oz of either cottage cheese, greek yogurt and cream soups for 14 days. Today I started eating soft foods, 4 oz, 3x's a day. I am drinking an average of 90oz of water, daily. In 19 days, post surgery, I am down 41 pounds for a total of 56 pounds. I have had a very good recovery, outside of a major gout flare up 11 days post surgery. I feel great! I haven't had any issues. I wish I would have done this sooner!
