My journey has begun! I'm on my way to a new healthy me!
Jan 30, 2011
Hi! I just had my gastric sleeve surgery 1 week ago. Overall, it was a good experience. I will be getting my staples removed this coming Wednesday and am looking forward to that! I've been itchy which I guess is a good sign of healing. So far I've been doing well with my eating. The 3rd day after surgery, being able to have a sugar free pudding never tasted so good after being on clear liquids for 4 days.
Now it's 4 weeks of sf pudding, cream soups, sf popsicles, small curd cottage cheese and protein shakes. To my surprise, I really do like the protein shakes. You have to have 60 to 80 gms of protein a day and the protein shakes are the only way to do it. I am so inspired by reading the experiences of others and seeing their results that I have just been on such an emotional high that I'm so excited about my new journey!
