jennydarlene 12 Posted October 2, 2016 I have been overweight all my life and struggled with the yo-yo diets. Finally, i decided to look into weightloss surgery. I have a few friends/acquaintances that have had great success. So, got in touch with a place that helps get all the appointments set up and got that ball rolling (feb 2016). Finally, Sept 14th i had my sleeve and a hiatal hernia repair done! Met all the Surgeons requirements and went home same night. I was off work one week and one day:-) As of now, I'm 34 lbs down Still trying to get my Vitamins to stay down but everything else has been pretty smooth:-) Clear Liquids for a week, full liquids for a week. Now mashable foods for 2 weeks, then soft foods (and meats) for 2 weeks then I should be able to the full menu on the diet list:-) I am sooo happy i made this decision! It isn't always easy but i am making my way!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't drank a pill since surgery just taking a daily patch that now I use every other day since my body was absorbing everything lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
