7 weeks have passed since I had my sleeve and what a journey with lots of ups and downs so far. I have lost 22.8kg ( 50.16 pounds or 31/2 stone) and feel like a new person, even though I have allot more to lose. I have had some fantastic days where I have felt on top of the world and some days where i wish I had't had the surgery. This week was one of the weekends where I wish I had not had surgery, as I had major problems with my bowels. TG it is all sorted now and I feel back to normal. I am going to be playing tennis next week for the first time since the operation and I hope I have enough energy. I have decided to go back to having a shake for breakfast, as I think its helps with my fluid intake and has all the nutrients I need. I still do not have much of an appetite and I think that is one of the causes of my bowel problem, not enough food, roughage and not drinking enough. I have bought some low calorie flavouring to add to my water and that has helped me increase my fluid intake. I do however struggle to drink after eating as I am too full. I see the surgeon for the first time next week.
