Surgery 5/7/14

[SweetCryss 27]

I had my sleeve on May 7th, 2014. To my surprise it has gone really well. I did not have any pain medication until I got ready to leave the hospital. And there after really had no need for any. And believe me I am not one for pain. I have 5 small incisions that were covered with a glue type sealant. My doctor gave me a prescription of a cream for the scar that was for pain and another for the scar to heal better. I have B12, prilosac, Iron , Calcium caltrate, and Vitamin d. I think I am most impressed with the lack of pain. I do find it hard to scarf down 60 grams of Protein because it is almost like my stomach crittles up when I drink something. I don't have a lot of energy either probably because of the lack of protein. But just curious what kind of Soups you eat in week 2. I am big Bisque eater. I love mushroom bisque, tomatoe bisque, lobster and crap bisque, etc? Also I WAS (Lord, knows if I will be now) a BIG Mexican food eater could eat it Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Has anyone had any trouble tolerating Mexican food? Any other tips for post op?

Hi SweetCryss,

Congratulations and welcome to the "losers bench". Most of us on this thread had gastric bypass, so I don't know about eating Mexican food after a sleeve. You might want to ask the May sleeve group on this site at: http://www.bariatricpal.com/groups/400-may-2014-sleevers/

Good luck
