hi, the procedure was done in Mons, Belgium on May 16th. I lost 2 kg with the pre-op diet. First week was very hard with lots of vomiting, sleeping in sitting position. i have to admit the 2nd day i felt so bad that i was thinking why did i do this to myself? i ate liquid for one week. then one week pureed foods. i got bariatrics vitamins cause i felt weak. Drinking enough is a full day job. i took two weeks off work to recover. After 2 weeks i went back to gym, twice a week. i lost a lot of muscle in my arms and legs despite daily protein included in my meals. when i eat too quickly i get sick. i stuck to my diet, i weigh my proteins. i dont feel hungry and learned hunger is very mental. i lost 12 kg since the surgery, one clothes size and two bra sizes. i feel younger, more active. i have less pain in my joints and arrived to run one minute on treadmill. i started to incorporate daily pilates exercises to tone up. i had the spatz balloon and will keep it for 12 months. for the moment i dont regret at all
