Amazed At What 61/2 Weeks Post Surgery Is Like!

[royboy 40]

Well it's been 6 1/2 weeks since my sleeve surgery. I'm amazed at my changes. Down 60 pounds today!!!!!!!!!! Dropped 2 pant sizes, 2 shirt sizes and the energy level is thru the roof!!!!! I even cleaned the garage today because I was bored. been working every day on my truck from morning until nite also. I've gotten so much done lately. Couldn't have proven it by me at week 1-3. LOL Alot is changing. Off all Diebeties meds, High Blood pressure meds, Cholesterol Meds and only take a Vitamin now. As of last Tuesday could have eaten steak, but haven't gotten around to it yet. LOL That's not me or that's not whom I was before surgery. I would rather of eaten a steak than done alot of things, not anymore. Going out for baked Haddock tonite, My new favorite food. Yummmmmmmmmmmm. My only complaint is about the restriction feeling or full, or whatever it is when I eat. Doesn't feel good to say the least. Feels uncomfortable after. Like I have gas in my stomach. But the lifestyle change that has come is truly amazing to me. I hope everyone here whom get's the sleeve feels as blessed as I do at 6 weeks out!!!!!!!!!

My daughter is getting married in August and I do not want to be the "FAT MOM" in the front row. So I am 2 wks post opt. and have lost 26 lb. I was 342 surgery day and am now 316....I am anxious for the weight just to melt off....but am not expecting miracles over night.

Thanks for the encouragement....my goal is to be down 5 lbs by August....and more if possible :-}
