    Red face Sleeve done 4 days ago

    So my sleeve was done 4 days ago. I've been amazed at my lack of pain. I used the PCA a few times the day of surgery and one time the following day. Had a little trouble with nausea but not bad. Struggled to get the required fluids down due to feeling water logged. Now that I'm home I started the protein shakes and they are helping me to feel full. I'm also drinking decaf tea. So excited to see where I end up but dreading this liquid diet for 2 weeks ;(
