1 Week Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[VFB 4]

Well it has officially been one week since my sleve surgery!

I have been so lucky with the ease of this whole process. Dr. Aceves and his team were wonderful. I had no gas pain and very little pain at my incisions. The worst part so far was trying to choke down the nasty blue stuff for the leak test!

I am still on Clear liquids for a few more days. I am doing my best to get all the liquids and Protein in, it seems to get easier every day. I have been very lucky!

The best news is that as of this morning I have lost 21 pounds since surgery! I could not believe my eyes!

I am so so so glad to finally be on that damn loser's bench!

Glad to hear you are doing well! 21 lbs in a week is outstanding. I will warn you to sip, sip and sip. I am 15days post op and just got submitted back to the hospital for a kidney stone. I will be having surgery in the morning to remove it. Because us sleavers can't get the same amount of Water down , the dr doesn't think I will be able to pass it. Apparently it's BIG! Hope you continue to have great success and enjoy watching that scale drop!
