RustBeltRoots 0 Posted January 26, 2012 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.

thinoneday 445 Posted January 26, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted January 26, 2012 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).

CT Fats 82 Posted January 26, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
