Newbie here...

Hey! I was sleeve June 16 as well and came home the 18th... It's been pretty good so far, I'm a big Water drinker so it's been an adjustment for me to not drink a ton. I've lost 12lbs since surgery! (5days)! So happy so far but we have a long journey! Best of luck!!

Congrats on you 12lbs!

Great job on your 12 lb loss so far. I hear you about the water....I am used to chugging down a 1l bottle and now a bottle lasts a while from slow sipping. Keep up the good work!

Good morning....went for a nice walk this morning and had my inaugural post surgical 'knocking boots' session with the wifey. All is good right now

Haven't had a chance to check in lately, but had my 1 week follow-up on 6/25 (8 days post surgery) and got a good report from the surgeon. Cleared to progress diet as tolerated and head back to the pool with the kids! Went back to work on 6/24 with no issues...I would have been very bored had I taken the suggested 4 weeks off (I did block my schedule for two weeks...just went in a week earlier).

Been ramping up activity with biked riding now. Did a nice 20 mile ride outside on Sunday and trying to get 10 miles on the spin bike every morning. Eager to start lifting weights and maintain some muscle tone, but that will wait a few weeks although I have no pain in abdomen or suture sites.

Congratulations. I am praying my recovery is like yours.
