Hi, I am one week post op for gastric sleeve. I gained 10 lbs from fluid inthe hospital. 10 lbs. I weigh more now than the morning of my surgery.this is a textbook reason why the scale is also a 'tool' &. I'm referring to it negatively right now. I wish things like this were addressed by the bariatric center before surgery. I know they cannot prepare you for every single thing since we are all different. It's hard not to think I will be 'the one' who doesn't lose weight with this surgery tool. A sad thought. Other than that, so far everything seems manageable. Just trying to take things slowly. Am trying small amounts of puréed things today. So far, so good.

Monday morning will be my turn, too. I'm having serious butterflies in my stomach. I'm so grouchy, too. My poor husband. I'm a little hard to live with right now & he is my number one supporter. I'm trying to stay busy & be kind to myself with positive self-talk. It's hard, though. I wish you much success with your procedure.
