I had my sleeve done on Wednesday 2/1, and I'm just feeling well enough now to post. I've had major issues with nausea and throwing up.  The idea of looking at the small screen also was making me feel sick. Most of my pain seems to be a pain in the las

I'm getting sleeved two weeks from Wednesday, and trying to plan in advance for the stages of eating afterwards. Given the nature of eating soft / pureed foods, commercial baby food came to mind as an easy, transportable way of getting protein in. I ha
