Hello everybody, I hope this post finds you all well. Firstly, I am unsure how to update my information on my profile so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My name is Adele, I am 31 and started off my journey at 266lbs. I had my sleeve 27th April 2015 so am still recovering and finding it very difficult.

I am not as sore as what I was but am still very sore all the same, especially from the stomach drain incision which has leaked a few times from the force of me being sick several times. I find it very hard to drink Water, it's uncomfortable to swallow and instead I find thicker drinks like Slim fast go down easier.

I feel like I am hungry... Is that normal? I have been told to not eat anything for 3 weeks however I feel like I would be okay with puréed foods... Of course, I won't buy I am finding it hard!

I am down to 252lbs since the op, I really cannot explain why (so please don't think I'm not appreciative) but I feel almost a bit down about not losing more?? What is going on with me.....

Should I be losing more?

food is a big part of my life, myself and my husband like to cook and have dinner parties, will I be able to do that ever again?

Not sure if I am regretting the sleeve or I just need a pick-me-up, either way, any advice would be fab xx

Honey, we have all been where you are and we can all assure you that this too shall pass. It takes

a while for the pain to subside longer for some and not for others. What you are feeling is

perfectly normal and you will heal and feel better. Weight loss is also slower for some than others.I am five months out but I only weigh when i go to the Dr. that way I am so happy because a few

months can make a big difference. Hang in there dear and try not to concentrate on your weight

so much. It will come off and you will feel so much better. Take good care of yourself.
