I had surgery on 08/22/18 and have no pain since. I am down 40 pounds so far and will end my puree meal in 3 days! I am 6'1" and weighed 340lbs. The worst part is drinking the shakes.......can't stand them. I feel great, best thing I could have done! Just don't listen to all of the drama on these forums! Best of luck!
