      I am doing well. Thanks! I had my 6 week visit with my doctor on Friday. I have been retaining fluid and not quite sure what that's all about, but we drew some blood and we'll see what those reports show. I am struggling to get enough protein, like everyone else I guess. How long have you been/ will you be on liquids? I could start on soft foods at 2 weeks. Take care and keep me updated!

      You're welcome about the menu. But, no, I don't count calories. I take in such a small amount of food I don't think it matters. That being said, I do try to make healthy choices. I don't want to be a calorie counter anymore! LOL. Wish you the best!

      I am almost 6 weeks out now. Had GBS and have lost about 34 pounds. The first two weeks did not lose that much because I had retained a lot of fluid from surgery. Hang in there and dont get down! Just take it day by day. It will get better. I dont really know know about the sleeve as it was not offered to me as an option, just the lap band and GBS.
