I'm a sweets man and I haven't had a craving yet. the only thing I am craving is cheese and maybe some meat. I am only 9 days out though.....

hi everybody!!!

@@Georgia Thank you so much. I am so pumped for my new life with my family.

hundreds of hours on this forum, and yet another new area I have not been to yet........ here I go. (sept 10 sleever)

one of the several reasons I LOVE this site. reading as much as I do on here, I am ready and this will not catch me off guard. it sucks, because this early point post surgery, I love getting on the scale every morning and seeing a new lower weight. I think I will have the wife hide the scale and break it out just once a week. I can't wait to get healthy!!!!

I caught myself today..... I am so use to just letting them out and forgot that I have been recently sleeved.... just took a couple deep breathes just in time to advert pain!!!

congrats on your 100# mark. you deserve that treadmill. I haven't thought about rewards yet, but I should write some things down to motivate me.

sub'd for tips and tricks....

way to stay positive. great results thus far. keep it up

I hope that you have a speedy recovery. enjoy your journey and keep us updated.

thanks for sharing your story. great work. I am proud of you!!!

huge week for me 287 down 13 pounds this week!!! so pumped!!!

congrats to you a million times over. what an amazing journey you have begun. keep us all updated!!!

excellent. congrats on the good news.

a day at a time. 4 more days will be huge in recovery. I am sept 10 8 days out too!!! feeling pretty good. last night, didn't sleep too good so I am a little tired today. sleep was pain free, just up a lot for other unknown reasons. Water could be the reason.... drink up.

@@alexsisv welcome to the other side!!! glad you are healing nicely!!

great. sounds like a similar diet to what I had for a 3 week pre-op diet. it is a nice transition to the post-op diet stages. I think it helps mentally prepare you. good luck!!!

@@Westfield27 update your ticker!!! awesome work. I am 8 days out. down 14 pounds. crazy ride. brace yourself for the 3 week stall. good luck on the rest of your journey

I hope you feel better. congrats on all your amazing work thus far. Proud of you. I'm only 8 days out. I can't wait until I am at 24 weeks. wonder what is in store for me. you are 2/3 of your way to go. awesome!!!!!!!

fast forward 2 years...... you at goal weight, living life, confident, happy.... won't those 2 weeks all be worth it? just a short chapter on your road to greatness? yeah, all programs are vastly different. perhaps for many different reasons. my clinic (a bariatric center of excellence) required me to do a 3 week pre-op of a low carb, low fat, high Protein diet following a strict list of available foods. although I was just sleeved 8 days ago, I have already forgot about those three weeks and I am focused on what tomorrow holds in store. take care, follow your plan, you will be successful. keep up your good work!!!

i would like that everybody handles the stress of surgery differently. Give it some more time, stick to your plan, try to stay positive. I am sure it will all fall into place.

nothing like a little family competition for some motivation. At the very least, you have made great progress thus far. Sounds like she got the upper hand on you with a 1 year head start. let that drive you to be better.

@@Miss Mac wonderful post. great thread too!

wow. it is hard to say how one will recover from surgery. depends on a variety of factors. I think I am having a great recovery but at four days out, I don't think I would be in the mood for a wedding. depending on how close you are to the wedding party, you could just make a cameo at the reception for a while. by then, all the food, drink, dance, chaos, no one will noticed you left.

wow congrats to you
