Day 16 after sleeve -- progress report
Down to 269 lbs! Although not much yet, at least I am moving in the right direction. Today I started the pureed food stage for two weeks. First meal was to be 3/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of pureed canned fruit (no added sugars). Only able to eat 1/2 the cottage cheese before I had that full feeling. Seems so odd, but glad it happened! Looking forward to refried beans for lunch and more double milk as my snack.
I am feeling very good, the abdomen pain is nearly gone. My "bullet" holes have healed nicely and have dropped 6 pant sizes and can get a 2x shirt on, maybe a little too form fitting and tighter than I would prefer but I can get it on! My wife has been digging the old clothes out that I had put back because I had out grown them. Never thought I would actually wear them again. The process continues . . .
