AAlley11 15 Posted July 7, 2014 I'm only POD #5 and I'm feeling great. Walking, starting to get my liquids in easier, much less pain. When I stepped on the scale this morning it was all affirmed that I did the right thing by having the sleeve. I started crying happy tears because maybe I'll finally be able to live the life I want!! So thankful! 9 BryBro63, BeagleLover, CeeBa and 6 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AAlley11 15 Posted July 7, 2014 I had a lot of anxiety and nerves leading up to it, but man I'm glad I made the leap..so far I think it's going to be the best decision I ever make for myself! Excited for you! 1 denisetrujillo1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmarteo 3 Posted July 7, 2014 I had my sleeve done June19th. It has been an experience.the first few days were rough after surgery and I'm still adjusting but I am very happy with it. I had lost 15 lbs prior to surgery and have now lost another 20! A total of 35.....well worth it 3 AAlley11, denisetrujillo1 and CALean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bsgtx 0 Posted July 8, 2014 I had my lap band removed and converted to gastric sleeve on July 3rd. I have done good on liquids and have not been hungry. I follow up with doctor tomorrow. I have never been one to drink a lot of Fluid in a day so that's my biggest adjustment and I still have not found a Protein Shake that like. Good luck to you and I look forward to stepping on a scale now. Best decision I have ever made Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AAlley11 15 Posted July 8, 2014 You don't like the Premier Protein? I get them at costco and I think the chocolate one just tastes like chocolate milk basically. Good luck to you too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
