Been reading everyone since Fall 09 but waited to post to see how it all played out. 1 mo postop; sleeve on Jan 8, 2010 in San Antonio, TX. In hospital for 4 days, tough recovery early on but soreness 100% gone by week 4. Lost 26 lbs w/o exercise that first month. Just hit first stall so riding my recumbant bike for 30 mins every am. Water intake ok but hard to down so much solid Protein (never thought I'd say THAT!)... Am I crazy for ordering size 16, 14 & even 12 clothes??? :001_tongue:
