My name is Melinda 2 Posted March 28, 2013 After a long process I finally had the 'sleeve' procedure completed on March 18. I had no trouble during or after surgery. I was walking around the nurses station 5 hours after surgery and asking when I could go home! I was home the next day attempting to get my Protein and Water in my system--thinking to myself how can I do this! I am now 10 days post surgery. I can hardly tolerate the Protein shakes and am thankful for chicken broth flavored with lemon grass. I am taking two walks a day and looking forward to the next steps. 2 cls8402 and Ms.AntiBand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

golfer1204 6 Posted March 29, 2013 I stayed on Clear liquids for 5 days after surgery. I am having success with premier Protein shakes. I put them in a glass full of ice. The colder the better. I have also found sugar free Popsicles Sit with me really well. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
