Today was my second post-op, and I can already see a few improvements in my health after those first weeks of being sleeved.

First my BP is at 12/8 today, has not been that good for two or three years now. So that's really good news.

Since my first surgeon's appointment I lost 16 kgs (35 pounds), my Dr was happy about that, he said I was now on the highest range (??? really?). I'm more on the wait and see mode, because I do feel less pain in my joints but the difference is not that big yet to really be able to notice, may be in two months with more exercise I will feel better.

I am still taking the H2 (ranitidine) and so far so good. I did have some acid reflux yesterday but it was not too bad, so I just took an antacid to stop the fire. I hope I can stay on H2 and not have to go back to PPI!

I also saw the nutritionist, she said I need to eat more protein and drink more fluids, not a surprise.... Hopefully I will be able to do that next week, I will be in the States, I will try new things to help, water enhancer, new protein powder and bars and also try new vitamins....

Time to start packing!
Take care!
