  1. 13 Month Post-Op & 75lbs gone!

    I am chugging along, and absolutely no regrets for choosing this path.

    I am still learning and adjusting to being a "sleeved person" in a non-sleeved world. Eating is less complicated now, not that it really was, I am able to eat just about anything.

    I am basically still on liquid proteins, and have been introducing new foods some agree, and other have not agreed with me altogether. I may have something today, then if I try the next day again or later in the week, it ...
