Hi Debra I actually like being on the liquids and I have tried food but not liking it too much--i like broth and coffee and protien drinks and apple sauce now but thats about it and i am fine with it,, good luck on ur journey!!!

Congratulations on your sleeve! Sounds like you are doing everything right so far. Too bad you had complications. I had a sleeve two years ago and am so glad I did.

Good luck on your journey!

Areesha - hang in there - I hope your new stomach starts heeling and you get so you can introduce new things. Important to follow doctors orders. You are doing so well don't give up.

HI Areesha,

I'm Debra and I am waiting to take my "Sleeve" journey. Sounds like things are going pretty good for you soon. From what I understand, being on the liquids for an extended period of time is good for your tummy so it can heal properly. Hang in there!

Debra

My name is Areesha and I had gastric sleeve on August 21 2013 and I have lost 25 pounds so far. Had complications after so I am still on liquids for another week till I see my doctor. I joined a gym for walking and some Richard Simmons tapes to exercise at home. I have been taken off Metformin and my heart meds lowered and off plavix and my blood sugars average now is 114 last time was 263 before surgery. my HA1c was 10 now is a 7. I have had a heart attack stents and a heart bypass but all seems to be improvong just with this 25 pounds loss. I need to go down more and am very hopeful.
