YAY!!!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery Oct 16, so today is seven days out and I am 7 lbs lighter. I am thrilled. However with only a week of this liquid protein and water under my belt, the next phase can't get here fast enough! I am ready to chew something, regardless of how bland it is...pray for me please. I want to know approximately how long it took others to get their swelling under control. I look like I have had a baby...lol. Between the placement of the staples and the swelling, I can't get into any of my pants.

Congratulations on having such a great experience! The swelling will go down, slowly. I've been living in leggings and comfy skirts because of my incisions, but I wore something with a zipper today and it was fine. I'm about 11 days out ahead of you.
