Encouraging words

I am only 4 days out. Starting weight before pre op diet 425lbs. Surgery weight 402 or so. 4 days out (current) weight 397. I am getting all my Protein and liquids in and started on pureed foods right from the hospital bed. Gas almost gone. Incisions cause no pain except the main one ( belly button) is still a sore area so have not been taking any pain meds since yesterday. I had 3 tsps of pureed turkey for lunch and 3 tsps of tilapia for dinner and it was equivalent to the best meals i have had.. ( my 3 yr old laughed at me because she is used to me eatinga a whole turkey). I know its still early to brag about any progress but if this post can help anyone out there having second thoughts i will be happy. Good luck all

Never too early! You have already lost a lot of weight, and I know the pre-op isn't easy! I'm doing it now! Lol great job! Keep up the good work?

Thank you for posting about your positive outcome and uneventful surgery. It's good to see both the positive and negative posts so that people researching can get a good idea of any possible outcome. The negative/scary threads do tend to see more traffic but I really believe there are far, far more satisfied and happy patients like you out there.

Congrats on both your success so far and your new sleeve. I can't wait to see where you are in six months!
