I’m 7 weeks out from sleeve surgery. Yesterday I was refinishing furniture for my sister. In the middle of staining, my pants fell down! I think it’s time to go down another size. This will be my second time down!

Share your milestones! 🤗

Not to worry! I gained 15 pounds in fluids, etc., and I thought I’d faint when I got home and got in the scale. But it will come off! And how! You’ll be smiling in no time! All the best!

I had my sleeve May 14. The first week or so was hard from an emotional standpoint. It’s hard to look back and explain it, but I felt as if I had done it all for nothing. However, my moods leveled out, and now I feel great.
I also feel great physically, but I’m not losing the weight I thought I would. I’m walking and exercising every day. I counted my calories this week and realized I’m only getting about 400 a day. I think this is too low. But eating and drinking is such a challenge! I’m getting my recommended Protein, but not nearly enough fluids. I’m just never hungry, and when I drink, I feel full, so that makes me not want to drink more, much less eat. Will this get better?

But, all in all, no regrets. I’ll continue doing my part, and if I lose slower that I want, I can live with that. As long as I lose.

I’ll see my doc this week and talk about calories. Hoping he has a solution I can work through.

Thanks for listening!

Just had my sleeve May 14. Sore, but trying to walk and keep the blood going! I’m new here—good to be among friends!
