Hello my name is Lenny and I too had the sleeve on 12/26. I joined this forum because of this thread and the other great info I've read about on this forum. I have tons of questions about eating and my life after this sleeve but first some history on me.
I started this journey way back in March of 2018, and I weighed in at 320lbs. I'm 40lbs healthier, now down to 280lbs, and about 20lbs of that was from both the protein shake and full liquid diet before and after the surgery. Surgery the day after Christmas went really well, and unlike a lot on this forum, I can tolerate and enjoy the protein shakes. Can't tell you much I've enjoyed the taste of food again. Malt-o-meal, vanilla greek yogurt, and soups have never tasted better.
