2 Weeks Post-Op

Two weeks post op today (Gastric Sleeve by Dr. Broussard).  Feeling great.  Loving the mushies.  Refried beans, scrambled eggs, cheese, cottage cheese.   All are working just fine.  I am surprised at how little it takes to fil the old pouch.  My wife had her sleeve two years ago but I guess until you experience it yourself you can't really know how it really feels.  I feel full rather quickly and it stays with me.  I haven't been hungry and have still been getting in my 64+ ounces of fluid (over 70 or 80 most days).  Hopefully the risk of developing a gastric leak diminishes day by day.  That was what I was most worried about.  Particularly because Dr. B had to spend 4 hours on my surgery repairing some damage done by the less-than-competent surgeon that did my fundoplication surgery two years ago.   But, praise God, all is going well.  I have energy again and am now 44 pounds down (24 pre-op and 20 post-op).

This is soooo encouraging to hear!  I am in the beginning stages of the process with Dr. Broussard.  I'm sure that I want to do the WLS but am trying to be realistic about post-op food, water, etc.  It's nice to hear you are not having any challenges wtih being hungry.  It's hard to imagine what that's like!

Thats awesome Randy.. You have a great role model to look to for support & help with your journey.
Congrats!

I'm so happy for you.
