Hi All!

This is my first time on here.

I had my surgery on 3/25/14 which makes it a week as of yesterday. I have to be honest. It was much more difficult or at least different than I expected. I feel as if they warn you about text book feelings post op but not realistic ones. I wish I had a head up on the fact I was going to feel every sip from my throat until it hit my stomach. Or at least a warning that my sense of smell and taste would 180. Other than a few bumps in the road here and there everything has been going fairly well. I'm up and moving and in the first week I'm down 15lbs!!

Congrats on a successful start post-op! I went through the haywire taste buds thing soon after surgery. Every flavor had to be double strong for it to taste good, but that went away after a week or so. The good part was that I started liking (healthy) foods that I wouldn't touch pre-surgery.

Welcome!

It's quite a roller coaster to begin with but some normalcy comes back soon. The changes down the road are going to make you smile a lot!

I was sleeved the same day as you. I have lost 8 pounds post op, your 15 pound loss is awesome.
