What Was Your Biggest Surprise Post-Op

[RustBeltRoots 0]

Going for VSG on 2/28 and trying to get mentally prepared. Have heard and read a lot but was wondering if any you post-op folks had anything that surprised you or that you experienced after the sleeve that you weren't expecting.

Thanks.

My biggest surprise was when I went to my 7 week Drs appt and had lost 53lbs. I don't believe in weighing myself every day, so the day I got home from the hospital, I threw away my scale. I only weighed in at the doctor appts. And let me tell you, that made me so very happy. I didn't notice any stalls during the first year at all and only had perfect weightloss results. The other surprise was when i would "think" the clothes should fit, when infact I had "missed" the size and they were way too big. . .that was way cool. . . You will love your little surprises too! good luck

Immediately, it was the nausea post-op, other than that my surprise is how easy it's been! I secon'd the energy comment, I have tons too and can't sleep as long at night as I did pre-op (I was getting 9 hours or more and now it's more like 7-8).

Def, the speed of weight loss. I was prepared for a slow and steady journey but the weight started melting off and luckily hasn't stopped.
