twinnicolson - Congratulations! my sleeve date was 3/3/2010 and I'm doing great. The 1st week was clear fluids and at day 5 I was feeling tired and weak but as soon as I could move to full liquids and get more Protein I felt better, however, I do find I tire easy. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
