Surgery was Monday in Mexico, and after a few days of pain and suffering, I am back home and recovering. I did have some regrets after surgery, but im sure that is normal :001_tongue: Now i'm just working on the yogurt and chicken broth and juices, ready to get my energy back so i can get to exercising again! I hope that everyone is doing well!!

Oh, and 7 lbs down in one week! Mostly Water weight of course but it is so nice to just see the scale go DOWN instead of up for once!!

I think we all have a few "why did I do this" thoughts immediately afterwards! lol

Glad you are doing well and are home! Hope your recovery continues smoothly!

Thank you! The Dr and his staff was amazing- not to mention had a great personality, was absolutely gorgeous- and was so funny! I tell you what, laughing after sleeve surgery is pretty painful!

Oh- and i was told i could have low fat ice cream, and low fat dairy in addition to my Protein shakes, Jello, popsicles, Soup, etc... So tonight i got some no sugar added reduced fat ice cream thinking it would feel really good going down sitting in this sore tummy. Well of course it tasted so good, and did feel good going down, so i took several spoonfuls- then it hit me, and i got really full and almost nauseated and had to stop because i knew if i ate any more it wouldn't stay down. After 1/2 cup of ice cream, i was more full than i would have been polishing off the whole carton before hand. What a wake up to reality! A few bites or spoonfuls, and it hits you like a ton of bricks! This is a truely wonderful experience!
