Tomorrow is the day. I'm getting a revision from a sleeve. My surgeon is also taking out my gallbladder.

I'm packed and ready to go. I have to be at the hospital for 6:15am. I can't imagine that I'll sleep tonight.

Hello.....I'm scheduled for surgery 7/9/19, and wanted to get some feedback. The good, bad, and ugly. What kind of advice could you give me? How was your recovery? Where you able to go back to work within 2 weeks

It went well thank you. I'm now home and admittedly sore. I foolishly weighed myself and expectedly I'm up 7lbs. It's kind of funny to weigh more after the surgery then prior to. ?

i'm So not hungry but I'm supposed to start getting in protein. Via liquid of course. I'm craving a mushroom soup. So I think I'll soak some mushrooms in a chicken bone broth, add some organic bone broth protein powder and a smidge of organic skim milk. I'll strain the mushrooms out once warmed up.

Tomorrow I'll make a very thin protein tomato soup. I'll use salt free, sugar free tomato paste. I hope that's okay?

I just want to feel normal again.

Moving forward you'll want to go to 2% or whole milk, your new surgery doesn't absorb fat like it used to...

I was told that I'm supposed to use only skim milk for the first two weeks. But hell if I could use even 2% that would be WAY better. Skim is disgusting.

A lot of times they give us the same diet as the VGS or RNY surgeries. We have different requirements then they do. I was on whole out of the hospital and didn't have a lot of the restrictions.
