How Are Things Going?

Hey Everyone! We are 8 days into August! Some of us have been sleeved, some of us have not-where is everyone at!

I was sleeved 8/2. The first day was rough, but since then I've been doing pretty good! down about 12 lbs since surgery!! yay! mama's been trying on some skinny pants today....and they fit! Hallelujah !

My surgery was this past Tuesday, 8/7. I found the pain reasonably manageable, but the nausea was another story. It was so bad that they kept me in the hospital an extra day, and by the time I left, an ounce of plain Water every 15 to 20 minutes was the best I could do.

I'm still so swollen and puffy that I haven't even dared to get on the scale. I'll bet I have gained weight at this point! But surely things will turn around in a day or two. I am just hoping to fins a way to keep my energy up. My Dr. requires Clear Liquids (that flow easily through a strainer) for the first 3 weeks, and it turns out, I HATE the nectar Protein. Anybody in DFW want a large tub? I only used one scoop!
