Good job! You're doing great! How has it been going back to work? Are u just having Protein drinks while working or...?

Mostly Protein Drinks, Soup & maybe scrambled egg in morning. It's taking me awhile to tolerate solids. I'm having to learn when to stop, to chew very well and to go SLOW. I've over-done it a few times...it's an on-going set of lessons. I'm basically learning my limits. If I eat too much, too fast or have advanced my diet too quickly, pain, nausea & vomiting results. Pretty good deterrent! BTW- no probs with work:) I took 2weeks off.

I seriously to this day wonder if I had surgery. Besides the fact of the weight coming off and me not being able to eat as much, I have to be like, "You did have surgery." LoL! I am now in the gym 3 times a week, no exceptions, and have been doing well with that. I can do 13 mins on the elliptical! I couldn't even do ONE minute before the surgery! Hope you have a smooth recovery as well!!!

I think my mother in law used Dr Balder. I used Dr Avara in Ocean Springs. Had surgery June 10th.

How was your surgery and overall experience with Dr. Avara? He is my surgeon also. I am still pre op. I almost done with the hoop jumping...then surgery at the end of sept.

It was great overall. Only problems I had were an allergic reaction to surgical tape. His nurse Dana is the best! The first 2-3 weeks are rough with the soreness, having to adjust and getting past head hunger but its so worth it.

I've lost 40 pounds since surgery and haven't really had anything make me sick. Just follow the plan they give you and hopefully all will be well. Good luck!

Hi Janet!

Welcome! Just curious, Where were you sleeved?
