So I am 6 weeks post op, and since surgery I have lost 24 lbs since I started my journey I have lost 88lbs, I am half way there !!!

So at 6 weeks how do I feel... Well my energy is back to "normal" and I can tolerate most foods ( apart from really processed or deep fried) , I have learnt that thanks to the sleeve I can no longer " pig out" I simply can not get more food down and if I try I throw it up so what's the point ? Lol

My clothes are all so baggy but I am not spending a lot of money on new ones ... Yet:-)

I have had a few melt downs .. Because I can't eat or there is nothing I want and everyone else is eating cake and fries blah but I have had a couple of cokes lol that was good :-)

Also I hate the fact this website only used pounds... I have to convert everything because over here we use the metric system lol but in pounds it sounds like so much more, though you guys go on about getting into onederland ... Under 200lbs , to me that means nothing lol getting under 100kgs now that means something to me (which I achieved a few weeks ago)

Anyways I am plodding along slowly increasing my exercise.. My legs hurt all the time at the moment so I have to see my dr soon but yeah :-) can't complain to much

I'm American, but I live in Germany, so I use pounds and kilos. I just look at like I have two awesome milestones to achieve!

But anyway, good for you! Well done on your progress so far!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
